The American Humane Association presents a thorough and informative book for young readers that deals with the selection, housing, diet, handling, grooming, and health of new felines in a family.     Attractive, thorough and informative, this book presents everything that prospective pet owners will want to know about choosing and caring for a cat.  Beautiful full-color photos of a variety of felines complement the text.  The use of white space, colorful headings and photo captions all add to the overall appeal of the volume.  “Fast Fact” and “Pet Pointer” boxes spaced throughout the text provide additional information.  Supplemental features, such as the “life Cycle of a Cat,” a glossary, and bibliographical information, are useful additions.  An index completes the volume.  All in all, this is a very good addition to any pet-care section in an elementary library.    

This book is part of the American Humane Association Pet Care series.  There are six books in the series at this time.  The focus of the series is the selection, care and health needs of a variety of pets.
