cute way to teach kids about science, a little too simplified at times

My first-grader loved this, although probably more appropriate for around 3rd grade-middle school.

Delightful graphic novel all about cats, their domestication, physiology, behaviours, and our strange fascination with them. The graphic novel is a really compelling and accessible format for kids to engage with complex science. I read this to my six- and three year old boys and had to stop and explain quite a few concepts during the readaloud. It didn't take away from the experience, it just provided a platform for a little more science discussion which is always welcomed in our home. We also sometimes stopped and Youtubed some things which really added to the experience - videos of a cheetah chasing after a springbok or videos of different cat species and how articifical selection has resulted in so many different cat phenotypes. It took us about two weeks of before bedtime reading to finish the book but if I judge it by how much my boys asked for the book, it definitely gets a two thumbs up from me. On to the next Science Comic! According to the Moongazer, we will be reading "Brains"

I picked this book up when one of my students showed it to me in class (she knows I love cats). I was impressed by the artistry and also the amount of information that the author was able to condense and simplify for children. I would definitely recommend this to children 6+/anyone who is looking for some basic behavioral information about cats.

I'm a cat lady (as evidenced by the fact I have a cats tag on Goodreads) so of course I loved this. But I loved it from a librarian angle too! This is the first Science Comics book I've read, despite knowing about them for a while, and I hope to add this one to my branch's collection. These are a great way to get science into kids' hands in one of the most popular formats out there.

Very informative, fun and beautifully illustrated. Also, I'm partial to it because I had a calico cat named Bean so it's automatically a good read in my humble opinion ;).
