Cats (CubeBook) [Hardcover]

Caterina Gromis Di Trana (Author)

Book Description

Series: CubeBook | Publication Date: September 7, 2010

Cats takes on an almost three-dimensional form to present moments "stolen" by expert photographers from the everyday lives of these beloved animals. Sinuous and agile, playful, intelligent, and pitiless, cats of all stripes come alive in these splendid color photographs. Here we see cats as we think we know them, but there are plenty of surprises as well. Accompanied by the writings of leading zoologists and journalists, these images remind us that our cuddly companions have not lost all the instincts of their cousins in the wild, namely lions, tigers, and leopards. This book is a pleasure to leaf through and a reward to study. Its creative photographic portrayal of cats will fascinate readers of all ages, while young readers will especially enjoy the feel of the book's "cube format," chock-full of images that they will treasure for years to come.

This review is from: Cats (CubeBook) (Hardcover)

This is one of the best cat books I have ever seen. It has tons of adorable bright colored pictures of all different kinds of cats and kittens . My daughter is 8 and she is a cat lover like me and we both enjoyed this book. I know we will look at it over and over again. It is a perfect size cube so it is not bulky and doesn't take up alot of space. I give this book 5 stars !

I have seven of the Cube Books and love everyone of them. Sometimes I do chuckle at the information in them when it isn't quite real, but the intent is good and the photographs awesome!

This review is from: Cats (Hardcover)

If you want a collection of hundreds upon hundreds of photos of cats, and that with captions that are not verbose, this book is for you. The photos come from many sources, and a list of the photo-credit acknowledgements is provided at the end of the book.

Many different breeds are featured, and cats are shown in many different situations. Cat acrobatics are included. Cats are shown interacting with other animals, such as squirrels, rabbits, and pigs. Photos of wild cats are included. One of them has just decapitated a snake! Ugh...but that's nature.
