Vegetarians beware

Reviewed by Parent/Teacher

This wonderful story is also ride with the killing if animals. It seems that the children, with their father's sometimes reluctant approval, are happy to kill whatever animal they find, or else to entrap them. Parents with a sensitive child may want to skip over these parts.
