From Publishers Weekly:
Although these companion books correlate in format and layout, their contexts span two incongruous worlds--from the small domesticities of pet cats washing, sleeping and playing to the wide-open African plains where hippos forage among exotic flora. The illustrations in both books show flexibility and refinement in color and style. Though the treatments differ, both are effective--Marchi's depiction of the changing blush of morning, noon and evening light on the African landscape, and Mesturini's bold colors of the cat's man-made environment. In The Hippopotamus , scenic illustrations are uniformly pastoral, while The Cat features small, unrelated portrayals of the activities and clutter of feline existence. The weighty texts, particularly in The Cat , will be beyond the ken of most board book fans and are not written to encourage beginning readers. However, the information on habits, community life, food requirements and reproduction may well spark discussion with children who can "read" only the pictures. Ages 2-6.

From School Library Journal:
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Kindergarten-Grade 2-- Two attractive introductions to the animal kingdom. The Cat includes information on kittens as well as the habits of full-grown felines. The purpose of claws, body language, how a cat falls landing on its feet, and food gathering as well as a chart of various types of cats are all incorporated in the concise text. The Hippopotamus details the habits and describes the habitat of adults and their young. Both titles lend themselves equally well to primary-level research and pleasure reading. The vivid watercolor illustrations are naturalistic enough to provide further insight into the creatures' moods and activities. --Cheryl Cufari, N. A. Walbran Elem . School, Oriskany, NY
