What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book focuses on the sport itself. The physical contact is sports-related and contextual (body checks, fast pucks) but not depicted in a harmful or scary way. It is presented as an integral part of the game.
Ideal Reader
A 6 to 8-year-old child, particularly one who is sports-obsessed or a reluctant reader motivated by high-action topics. Excellent for a child who just attended their first hockey game or has a sibling who plays and wants to understand what's happening on the ice.
