So many interesting big cat facts, which sparked a lot of interest for my 7-year old.

Some neat facts. Not interesting enough for my 2nd grader, but too hard for my kindergartener to read.

Logan, Mr. Cat Crazy, picked this out at the library, based on the cover. When I started reading from the stack we brought home and got to this one, he said, "Maybe not. This looks like a Learning Book." Learning Book; that's the death knell at our house. I pointed out that he's always wanting to know more about cats and that we should give it a try. Surprisingly, it was both entertaining and full of the facts kids his age really want to know, like that a lion's roar can be heard 3 miles away and that tigers can eat the equivalent of 300 hamburgers in one sitting! Now I admit the book is hardly exhaustive, but it sure had a lot more information from all those popular picture/caption type books. And the writing was entertaining and engaging. He wants me to buy him his own copy. Of a Learning Book, no less.
