The True-or-False Book Of Cats - Softcover

Gr. 2^-4. Another book about cats? Yes. But this one is a little different. It uses 15 true-or-false questions to lead into information about cat behavior: "Cats don't like to be stared at"; "Cats have a hard time coming down trees"; "Cats have nine lives." Lauber attends to each question in a lucid, nicely detailed yet concise fashion, with Rosalyn Schanzer's colorful, lively artwork adding humorous details that help the facts slide down easily. The illustrations make this look like a picture book for younger readers, but the text is keyed to older ones. Both audiences will probably find something to keep them interested, especially if they have cats roaming around at home. Stephanie Zvirin
