Gr 2-5–This alphabetic exploration of cats offers nearly 100 pages of colorful photographs and short descriptions, from ­Abyssinian to the York Chocolate cat, that will appeal to any cat lover. Although not a research guide, the facts supplied about each cat are catchy and diverse, including historical information, facts about global locations, and quirky details that will likely stick in readers’ minds. The tiny killer, the Black-Footed Cat, lives in ­Africa and can eat 3,000 rodents each year; Taylor Swift has a Ragdoll named Benjamin Button. With colorful close-up portraits, uncluttered layouts that balance text and image effectively for skimming as well as deeper reading, and a back matter of big cat sanctuaries around the United States, this title will have a high circulation among feline friendly readers.
VERDICT A worthwhile text to add to any collection of animal facts and photographs.
