Publisher's Summary:
Big cats are fierce predators that roam the world from the mountains to the deserts. How are these wild cats that hunt for their food the same as pet cats that might chase a mouse or ball of yarn? How are they different? Children learn the days of the week as they travel to seven different world habitats to meet the big cats and then back home to compare and contrast the domestic cat's behavior to that of its relative.

Little ktties are very much like big cats
In Scotti Cohnâs picture book,âBig Cat, Little Kitty.â she contrasts the majesty, characteristics, and territoriality of the large cats with similar domestic cats. Over the course of a week a big cat is featured in his or her habitat and later that day a domesticated kitty is shown in their own environment: a porch, house, garden, park, playground, pond, etc. Itâs a great idea--the contrast and repetition works well.
Susan Detwiler. Ms. Detwilerâs artwork is gorgeous and beautifully illustrates the contrasting cat worlds. These pictures deftly move the reader from scene to scene, from the wild to the domestic.
There's educational information at the back of the book, Ms. Cohn includes information on the two main types of big cats, a quiz on their habitats on the world map, description of cat senses and adaptations, and a true/false quiz. This book is highly recommended for ages 5 through 8, and for school and home libraries.
Educational Fun Book
My Review: The author introduces us to seven wild cats like the tiger, cheetah, lion, snow leopard, cougar, jaguar, bobcat and pet cats in their different habitats.
On different days of the week, each wild cat and the kitties are asked questions about whom they are and their habitat.
"Who are you?" asks a gibbon. "And whose jungle is this?" The big cat growls, "I am Tiger, and this is MY jungle." She chases gibbon up a tree. That same night, a spider asked the same questions. The little kitty growls, I am Tiggy, and this is MY porch." She chases spider under a plant stand.
What I found funny was when the tables were turned on the wild cat. When a bobcat steps out of the woods unto a fresh cut grass he saw sitting on a lawn a kitty and a dog. The wild cat bobcat asked, "Who are you? And whose backyard is this?" The dog growls and barks. "I am King." Little kitty hisses and puffs out her fur. "I am Queenie." Together they shout, "This is OUR backyard!" The bobcat screams and bounds across the lawn and disappears into the woods.
This book isn't only a fun picture book but it's full of 4 pages of educational activities like:
* What are cats and how are they related?
* Cats of the World: A map and matching activity
* Cat senses and adaptations
* Cat true and false questions
This is an easy to read book with great illustrations that will have any child interested in the world of animals. I highly recommend this book for classroom reading as it introduces children to counting.
