- Reviews -

Helena Harastova and Jana Sedlackova' s Atlas of Cats featuresappealing and fun cat drawings by Giulia Lombardo that bring to life catstories. These explore the natural history of felines in an attractivecombination that enlivens the concept of the bedtime story with a cat-centricfocus. The study reveals different cat breeds that hold different temperamentsand personalities, reviewing each cat' s appearance, evolution over thecenturies, and place in human affairs. The writing is notably evocative andlively, as in the description of the Ragdoll cat: "Despite my name, I' m awild giant. No toy factor would produce a creature with such a silky coat andsuch dazzling blue eyes as mine!" Kids learning about cats will relishthis fun approach. - Donovans Literary Services This book is so adorable! I love the attractive design andthe sweet artwork. Every page is so colorful, and all the kitties are so cute! Althoughthere is a lot of information in this book, the writing style makes it fun andinteresting. Each page is broken up into smaller sections with easy-to-readparagraphs that keep your attention. There is some really good information inthis book, and it is also interesting to read about the history of cats. Iloved reading about the way different cat breeds were discovered or developedthroughout history. - Luminous Libro The Atlas of Cats is a charming hardcover volume thatteaches young readers about different breeds of cats, and more - how cats jump,world-record setting cats, and fascinating true-life cat stories in fun-to-read"Meow News" sections. It should be noted that The Atlas of Catsprimarily focuses upon the characteristics of individual cat breeds, and isn' tmeant to substitute for a dedicated pet care guide. Whimsical, hand-drawn colorillustrations add a vibrant touch to this delightful book; young and old catlovers alike will enjoy paging through it from cover to cover. - MidwestBook Review, Children' s Bookwatch I would recommend this to any child who loves cats or forthose looking to discover which cat breed they want as their next pet. Ifyou' re looking for it, this book will have it.

Ourkids will love this comic book style informative book about cats! Well done! -Joni H, Educator "When I was a kid, I wanted this kind of book. I remember specifically searching for this book, in fact, and coming up with nothing. Pretty much, I wanted a title that could systematically tell me about all the different cat breeds out there. And while I' m sure we' ve seen such somewhat similar books in the past, there' s something so nice about this flurry of fluffy facts. "-Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal Atlas of Cats is an excellent entertaining reference of catbreeds.

The book covers many different breeds of cat and what makesthem unique. There are also some fun features such as "Meow News"articles, world records and lots of funny and interesting pictures. Some of thenon-fiction text features include: text boxes, diagrams, lists, legends,charts/tables, arrows, labels, bold text and headings. The fonts, pictures andrandom facts will definitely keep the interest of young readers. While there isa lot of text on each page and over 100 pages, I think that some children wouldenjoy looking at the pictures or reading this book with a friend or familymember. I think this book would be best suited for children in the 8-11 range,but some younger or older kids may enjoy it as well. - Angie k, Educator This book is absolutely adorable.

Following each breed is a section called Meow News which illustrates a famouscat of that breed. Cat Tail language will let you know what your cat is tellingyou if its tail is in one of six positions.
