Meow! the Truth about Cats

K-Gr 2--Presented in a question-and-answer format with endearing color photos and amusing illustrations, this is a delightful introduction to cats and kittens. Whipple addresses common questions about cats, why they puff their tails, or how they land on their paws, and provides easily understood explanations. Fun facts run throughout, and back matter includes a glossary and activity to help readers determine whether their own favorite feline is left- or right-pawed. VERDICT For collections where animal nonfiction circulates well, this is a very good purchase. The photographs have a charm factor that will keep readers enchanted for repeated outings.--Rosemary Kiladitis
