Gr 3–5—This bright and cheerful compendium on all things cats will satisfy even the most avid cat lovers. Children will enjoy the book's wide range of facts, which include everything from practical information on pet care and health to historical and cultural information. Colorful illustrations, photographs, and easy-to-read infographics and diagrams keep the text from becoming overwhelming. While the scientific factoids are fascinating, the hands-on how-tos on cat ownership are what really make this title worthwhile. A thorough index, an updated list of further reading, and relevant websites are included. VERDICT A bright and informative encyclopedia for feline enthusiasts. A smart purchase for public library pet sections.—Savannah Kitchens, Parnell Memorial Library, Montevallo, AL
