![]() But it was bad enough that I had to skip over it. When one of the bad guys was killed, the injury and the (long) process of his death was described, though an intense visual description was not given. That one wasn't explicitly described, as she was carried off by an eagle. One series we had to stop because she was triggered by the death of a pregnant cat. There are very evil deeds done by the bad cats, and terrible tragedies. The cats are in the wild, and they live harsh lives. Also it's fun! I'm as into the story as she is, so it's great that we can share that. But she is still very very into the story, and it challenges her abilities in a great way. I have to go slowly and sometimes check that she's followed some of the implied social interactions. I read them to her (she still can't handle large chunks of text) and I define the larger words as we go. The Warriors books have opened up longer stories for her, raised her vocabulary, and illustrated complex social interactions. She also did not easily empathize with human characters. ![]() My daughter has high-functioning autism, so she struggles with words and reading comprehension and was not very interested in long form stories. ![]()
