- Reading
- If animal peril might be upsetting, consider reading together or checking in around the hunting and animal danger. You can pause to discuss what feels intense without needing to settle the story’s ending first.
- Themes
- Animal survival and danger: An orphaned mountain lion cub learns to hunt and survive while facing larger animals, a hunter and dogs. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Hunting, pursuit by dogs and threats from larger animals are part of the story. A reader also remembers vivid animal violence and a cub’s death, but the circumstances are unclear.
