PreSchool-Grade 3-These easy-readers provide a wealth of information about cats and dogs in a kid-friendly way. Topics covered include the senses, size of litters, similarities to animals in the wild, methods of communication, and explanations for specific behaviors. Holub mixes interesting facts with information about pet care, stories about cat or dog heroes, and simple instructions for making inexpensive toys (Cats) or tips for training (Dogs). Cartoon illustrations are combined with candid full-color photographs of a variety of feline and canine breeds, kittens and puppies, and children interacting with their pets. The concise chapters with bold headings and clearly written texts make these titles solid choices for school reports on animals and great picks for reluctant readers. There is one small minus-the breeds shown in the photos aren't identified-but don't let that deter you from adding these engaging titles to your collection.

Gr. 1-2. Part of the Dial Easy-to-Read series, these books combine appealing color photos and sprightly cartoons with an informative, easy-to-read text. Both use bold headings in the form of a question to impart information: Why do cats purr? Why do dogs bury bones? There is also information about size and habits, and each book lists several examples of the species that have saved lives or performed other heroic deeds. Cats is slightly better than Dogs because its art and text seem more carefully integrated. New readers will enjoy learning about these animals on their own, and they'll certainly like the pictures.
