Good "General Purpose" Cat Book - a review of "Cat" (I am your pet)

This is a nice "general purpose" cat book for children. It doesn't go into detail about anything in particular, but touches briefly on topics such as what food cat's should eat, how there are long and short hair varieties, and why spaying is a good idea. The author's strength, besides being a vet, is that he emphasizes the functionality of cat's special features. He explains, for example, that they use their tails to balance and communicate, and that their whiskers are very important in feeling their surroundings. Chapter Headings: Who am I?

Index While this might sound like a lot of information, it isn't. Topics are usually handled on two facing pages with less that one page worth of text interspersed with photographs, humorous conversation balloons, and fun snippets. Four Stars [B-] This is a nice general purpose book for elementary aged children. The format is what I call 'lively'. There are plenty of photos of various sizes that break up the text, plenty of blurbs and captions. The Accelerated Reading/ATOS designation is 4.2. The book can be read to any child, of course. Pam T~
