Booklist Monthly Selections - # 2 May 2003
Reviewed with Marty Crisp's Everything Dog.Gr. 3-6. Why does my cat like catnip? Why can't dogs eat chocolate, and why do they sniff under each other's tails? These questions and more are answered in accessible photo-packed entries in the Kids' FAQs series that introduces facts by answering questions at the head of each chapter. The short sections are filled with interesting facts as well as speculations about pet behavior (Do dogs dream?). Occasionally the text seems a bit breezy: rabies, for example, is described simply as "a nasty virus that can be passed to humans." But kids will like the direct, chatty language and the question-and-answer format, which brings them right to the topics that will interest them most. Sharp color photos, many showing cats and dogs in whimsical poses, will attract plenty of browsers. ((Reviewed May 15, 2003)) Copyright 2003 Booklist Reviews

The paper-over-board Everything Cat: What Kids Really Want to Know About Cats by Marty Crisp, a companion to the author's Everything Dog, once again uses a q&a format to reveal the truth about these often mysterious creatures. Questions range from the practical, such as "Why do my cat's eyes seem to glow in photographs?" (answer: cats' eyes contain a special membrane that reflects light so they can see better at night) to the more speculative, such as "Do cats really have nine lives?" ("Maybe. Certainly some cats have amazing survival stories," answers the author before recounting a few). Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
