1.0 out of 5 stars A child's book, May 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Balinese (Checkerboard Animal Library: Cats) (Library Binding)

Sorry to say, I was disappointed in this book. As a children's book the intent and content is okay. Sadly, only two of the cats pictured could even hope to place, (not win) in a cat show. There are so many beautiful Balinese cats, it's a shame they weren't represented in this book! You could find more information on Balinese cats in almost any book that covered cat breeds in general. By the title, I was hoping to find a book with lovely photos and in depth information on this beautiful breed of cat. This book does not in any way fulfill that need!

4.0 out of 5 stars Just like my Balinese!, November 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Balinese (Checkerboard Animal Library: Cats) (Library Binding)

Although the explainations of the breed characteristics are fairly simple (written for a child), there are some beautiful photographs. A few look just like my little Balinese, Katalina! This book makes a good quick reference manual, although not for complicated matters. I disagree with the previous reviewer who stated that the pictures looked like cats with no pedigree. It is my professional opinion that all but 2 looked like perfect show quality. I am pleased with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book on aminals., September 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Balinese (Checkerboard Animal Library: Cats) (Library Binding)

Cat books are always in demand. Being from Alaska I recongnized the lynx, but it was not indntified, which could easily have been done on page 4. In the glossary a pronounciation of the words would have been very helpful. It is a book on animals that I would gladly reccommend for students from K-3, teachers, and parents.
