I was very surprised when I opened the packaging and noticed how large this book was. I was expecting a small abbreviated paperback. The pages of the book are sleek, glossy- with high quality- life like photographs of these beautiful, awesome animals.Anyone would gain a new appreciation for big cats- simply by thumbing through the pages- and viewing these animals as theydeserve to live in their natural habitats. Humans have driven these animals to the point of extinction. We need to give them a second chance. I would recommend this book to any child- so they can develop an awareness - and a reason to save these phenomenal wild cats.
From the phenomenal photographs, the fabulous facts and kid-friendly fonts & layouts, this stunning display of both "big & little" cat information is sure to be a popular addition to any school, public or personal library. Who knew that a male tiger could mate with a female lion and produce a Tigon??!! Or how to spot the difference in jaguar and leopard spots (I won't give it away. You've got to read the book!). Another feature sure to please kids are the comparisons of big cat abilities, personalities and behaviors to kids' and the "To find out more" page lists places to go, websites to read and important initiatives to get involved in to protect wild cats.
I purchased this book for my daughter for use in our homeschool. She loves cats, both domestic and wild, and wanted to learn more about them as part of our study of animals for science.The photography in this book is stunning, but else would you expect from National Geographic? Tons of useful information, and a great resource for anyone interested in learning about wild cats! This is a book that gets looked at over and over.
My 9 year old son loves everything to do with wild animals, jungles, Africa, etc., and big cats are no exception. This book helped to feed his desire for more knowledge and cool information! He eagerly studies this book. The pictures are great: large and colorful. The information is presented in an exciting way, like National Geographic is known for. Great purchase!
The book itself is great, but the binding has broken. We returned one book since it happened the same day we got it. Now it's happened to the second one, making us believe that this edition must have problems, rather than us just having received a lemon on the first copy. A great book, just poor printing on this one.
My son loves this book - and I enjoyed reading through it with him. The photos and graphics are great and there was tons of information to learn. My one complaint would be that the binding on our copy was weak; within a few days of him carrying it around and opening it (frequently), the main cover popped off. Now we just carry the book around carefully and try to keep it inside the cover. (All of the pages are still bound together.)
The vivid colors... the pop-off the page action photos are all classic national geographic; expect nothing less from NatGeo. The text reads well and is kid friendly, and keeps the child's attention.
