DK Super Readers (level 2): Cats and Kittens. D.K. Publishing. 2023. [May] 35 pages. [Source: Library] [early reader, nonfiction]
First sentence: Purr, purr. Meow, meow. What's that? It's a cat, of course! There are more than 500 million cats around the world. That's a lot! Cats are one of the most popular pets in the world. Cats are covered in soft fur. Their fur can be different colors and patterns. Cats have sharp claws and teeth. They have pointed ears and bright eyes. Cats have thin, wiry whiskers that stick out around small noses and have long tails.
Premise/plot: Nonfiction early reader for young readers. This one features photographs of cats and kittens. It is organized into five chapters: "Let's Meet Cats," "Types of Cats," "Parts of A Cat," "Kittens," and "Fun with Cats." It is packed with basic information about...you guessed it...cats and kittens.
My thoughts: I love, love, love, love, love cats (and kittens). This was an easy choice for me to choose at the library. I regularly check to see if there are any new books--fiction or nonfiction--starring cats. I would recommend this one to young readers who love cats and kittens. The photographs are super cute and adorable. The narrative flows nicely. Good layout. There is a glossary.
