Great gift for cat lovers
I got this book for my husband’s birthday and he’s been reading a few pages every night. The book has such a nice quality and the cover design is beautiful as well. The book has so much information to learn. Even family and friends who visit our house enjoy reading it together on the couch and it’s the sweetest thing to see!

What a great book
I bought this for my nine-year-old. She was having trouble doing her 20 minutes of reading time per night. So I figured to get her the one thing she was interested in the most. Now all she does is sit down and read this book over and over again even with her friends. I think it's great to give a child something that they really love to learn about and this book provides that. Albeit with a few words that are probably out of her range but she works past them with our help and she learns how to read something that isn't dr. Seuss Style. So if you're apprehensive or on the fence about buying this book for a younger child it seemed to work out pretty good for me. That and all the pictures work through the book pretty darn well. Very happy with my purchase and I will definitely look for other books by this publisher and author.

Um livro com capa bonita e só!
Um livro com capa bonita e só! Conteúdo muito pobre! O autor passa a jato e muito superficialmente por cada raça, não fornecendo informações essenciais como o comportamento de cada raça, cores e padrões de pelagens, doenças comuns a cada raça, etc. As fotos são pobres e repetitivas, chegando a "enfeiar" raças de lindos gatos como o Ragdoll, o Brittish e o Sagrado da Birmânia. O livro também deixa de mostrar os padrões e cores de pelagem de cada raça, se limitando a mostrar a mesma foto de um gato em 2 a 3 posições, ao invés de mostrar outras cores e padrodonagens de pelagem de uma mesma raça. Dinheiro jogado fora, infelizmente!
