ReviewedAmerican Curls are Peter Pan in feline form. Though they grow in size, they never grow out of their kitten ways. Even their ears resist conformity by curling backward just days after birth! In this book, curious young readers will meet a cat breed fit for life in Neverland.
'This series on various cat breeds is designed for the primary grade reader. With colorful photographs and simple text, these books are a good choice for libraries who need to update or add more “cat books” to their collection. There are 26 books in the Cool Cats series, which includes breeds not found in other series, such as Siberians and RagaMuffins. Words found in the glossary are highlighted in the text, but without a pronunciation guide. The author begins with a history of each breed and then gives a description of what the cat looks like and how it behaves. Readers will be interested to learn that Siberians love to play in the water and that some Ocicats can open lids to get treats. An index and suggestions for further print or online reading are contained in the back matter. The photographs are appealing and show cats in different colored coats. THOUGHTS: This series is sure to be a hit in elementary libraries, especially with children who enjoy reading about this popular pet.', Denise Medwick, West Alleghency School Districtt
