Super Cats: True Stories of Felines That Made History by Elizabeth MacLeod
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hey, my mother bread siamese when she was a girl. There were always cats in our house. At one point we had five of them. So, having said all that, I thought I knew everything there was to k now about cats, and though I would be reading the same old stuff that all cat books have.
I was quite wrong.
This is a fantastic, middle-grade reference books, which tells the story of cats, through antidotes, for each stage in their history. And it isn’t the stories you have heard before. One very sad story was of a cat that was accused of hunting the Stephen’s Wren into extinction.
And thrown in are a lot of cat facts, or cat observations.
Another story is of cats that have helped at sea, such as Simon, the only cat to be awarded the Dickin Medal, which is given to animals who have helped out in wartime.
I think this would be a great addition to any school, public or home library.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
