Feed me, pet me, come and play. Let me out, please go away! A cat fits all these thoughts somehow into the tiny word MEOW. The cat has been companion, worker, and revered idol throughout man’s recorded history. From A is for Ancestors to Z is for Zzzz’s, this unique book in an alphabet format combines breed, behavior, cat care and anecdotal information with the breathtaking illustrations of Robert Papp. Author Helen L. Wilbur infuses warmth and humor into her poetry that will please readers of all ages and help children improve their reading skills. The side-bar text offers in-depth information that will provide new insights to even the most experienced cat lover.
Hardcover, ages 9-12.
