Fear of cats
I thought this was a very thoughtful book. It shows that it is okay to be afraid of something and one way it can be delt with. I don't agree with the previous review. It is not meant to be a bias against cats but rather a way of saying it is okay to be afraid. Some kids are scared to show their fears and it turns into aggression. This book validates fear.

Why the anti-feline bias?,
This review is from: Max and the Baby-sitter (Hardcover)
"Max and the Baby-Sitter" is one of a series of children's books written by Danielle Steele, who is better known for her romance novels. The book has bright, colorful illustrations by Jacqueline Rogers.Max is a little boy who lives in New York City with his dad, who is a fireman, and his mom, who is a nurse. When he expresses his discomfort with his baby-sitter, his parents find him a new one. This could have been a pretty good children's book, but I was put off by one aspect of it. Max has a seemingly irrational fear of his first baby-sitter's cat. His new baby-sitter has a puppy and pets of four other species, but no cats. The parents never deal with Max's fear of the cat, and by the end of the book it seems like this bias against cats is reinforced. Approach with caution, especially if you are a cat lover.
