Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-5-- Simon returns to the animal world with a striking presentation of seven members of the cat family: those that roar--the lion, tiger, leopard and jaguar--and those that merely purr--the puma, cheetah, and snow leopard. An overview discusses characteristics inherent in all, and singles out those unique to individual species. Enough information is presented to satisfy browsers and to develop an understanding of the cats' hunting techniques and adaptations to specific environments whether grasslands, jungles, or snowy mountains. Care has been taken to include those that exist in many parts of the world and to dispel some myths about these mighty hunters. Concluding statements describe how many of the big cats have been hunted nearly to extinction and give suggestions on ways they can be protected. The format is large, spacious, and uncluttered, and the text flows with an energy that matches the strength of these animals. Full-page, full-color photographs are well chosen for their clarity and diversity as cats stare boldly, hunt for prey, or appear in gentle poses with their cubs. A book that commands attention andis as impressive as the magnificent beasts it features. --Diane Nunn, Richard E. Byrd Elementary Sch . , Glen Rock, NJ

Another great Seymour Simon early childhood science picture book,
By Assoc For Natural Psych "world of nature" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Big Cats Pb (Paperback)
Seymour Simon has consistently interesting early childhood nature/science books for childern. This is another example of a topic sure to intrigue the most die-hard video game addicted first grader. This will hold the interest of most boys. Very good information and pictures on he big cats, African lions, cheetahs, tigers, etc. Good educational tool to help children to put all the pieces together of animals they already have some knowledge about. Teachers and parents can use the pictures as a springboard for children's artwork. Nice book, like all of Seymour Simon books that I've seen.
