Every cat breed, large and small, wild and pet, in one big, beautiful book. Big cats, little cats, bob-tailed cats, long-tailed cats, smooth cats, skinny cats, funny cats, scary cats, wild cats... here they all are in their furry, fanged and clawed glory. This children's picture book brings together in one volume every domestic cat breed in the world alongside colored drawings of rare wild cats and the well-known big cats. Cats are a favorite topic for children and so are books about cats. This one is aimed at children 3 to 7 (and to their parents). The first part features cat breeds from North America, Europe, Asia and the Rest of the World; and the second half is devoted to the wild cats of the world, both the rarer small species and the large cats of Africa, North and South America and Asia -- the Tiger, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Jaguar. The book also features a charming kitten identifier and a cub identifier, and an extensive cat index gives the reader fun facts about every breed and species featured. A great new reference guide for all the family that will make your children cat experts

"The sections display stylishly formatted and labeled depictions of well-known breeds as well as a slew of lesser-known pups... (and) a full double page dedicated to puppies, with dotted trails connecting the pups to their adult versions... Will delight any dog-lover." --Booklist "Breeds both familiar and unfamiliar are positively bursting out of this oversize volume... Dog lovers will spend hours poring over these winsome illustrations." --School Library Journal New in paperback, this wonderfully illustrated book features 300 dog breeds, including every breed recognized by the American Kennel Club. The book's double-page spreads show dogs in the seven official groupings: Working, Toy, Hound, Terrier, Herding, Sporting, Non-Sporting, as well as "designer" dogs like the Labradoodle and Chiweenie. Included here are also some obscure breeds recognized by other kennel clubs in Europe, like the Canadian Eskimo Dog and Australian Silky Terrier, as well as some dogs not yet officially recognized by the American Kennel Club. The 300 specially commissioned color drawings are accurate and most engaging. At the end of the book is an entertaining puppy identifier where children can test their ability to recognize the breed of 30 puppies. There is also a Dog Breed Fact Index with interesting trivia about all of the breeds. More than one-third of American households has a dog. With Big Dogs, Little Dogs, children and adults alike and together will enjoy learning and identifying the dogs that they encounter. It is fun and informative, and it might instill a lifelong interest in "man's best friend."

The land of the Frontiebacks is a strange and wonderful place. The letters of the alphabet run backwards and the animals are rather confused. Starting with Z, this title features 26 quirky verses and illustrations that bring to life a menagerie of curious creatures: the lazy Fox, the oversized Ant, the Elephant with small ears, and more.

Written in rhyming verses, this book takes the reader on a wild ride through the strange island of Turvytops where everything is not quite right creatures are upside down or back-to-front, volcanoes spew water and mountains are made of ice cream.
