The Atlas of Cats is a charming hardcover volume that teaches 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 Cats primarily focuses upon the characteristics of individual cat breeds, and isn't meant to substitute for a dedicated pet care guide. Whimsical, hand-drawn color illustrations add a vibrant touch to this delightful book; young and old cat lovers alike will enjoy paging through it from cover to cover. - Midwest Book Review, Children's Bookwatch I would recommend this to any child who loves cats or for those looking to discover which cat breed they want as their next pet. If you're looking for it, this book will have it.

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 cat breeds.

The fonts, pictures and random facts will definitely keep the interest of young readers. While there is a lot of text on each page and over 100 pages, I think that some children would enjoy looking at the pictures or reading this book with a friend or family member. 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.

It tells all about different kinds of cats. It does a wonderful job explaining the different cats personalities, what they look like, including different color variations, the different facial expressions and tail movements they have and the life expectancy of the cats. The illustrations are adorable and colorful. This is the perfect book for cat lovers of all ages. - Whitney H, Reviewer

How many cat breeds are there? Let's find out! This book belongs to all cat lovers!

Proud holder of the California Reading Association Eureka Silver Award for 2022. Helena Harastova and Jana Sedlackova's Atlas of Cats features appealing and fun cat drawings by Giulia Lombardo that bring to life cat stories. These explore the natural history of felines in an attractive combination that enlivens the concept of the bedtime story with a cat-centric focus. The study reveals different cat breeds that hold different temperaments and personalities, reviewing each cat's appearance, evolution over the centuries, and place in human affairs. The writing is notably evocative and lively, as in the description of the Ragdoll cat: Despite my name, I'm a wild giant. No toy factor would produce a creature with such a silky coat and such dazzling blue eyes as mine! Kids learning about cats will relish this fun approach. Donovans Literary Services This book is so adorable! I love the attractive design and the sweet artwork. Every page is so colorful, and all the kitties are so cute!
