The spreads of the wild cats are gorgeous and show the animals in their natural habitats, swimming, sleeping, hunting. The text and sidebars provide a wealth of information that will intrigue young readers, whether they come to do research or just to satisfy their own curiosity.

Did you know that cheetahs are the only cats that don't roar, but rather make a chirping sound?

Or that no two tigers have the same stripes?

Or that lions can eat up to 60 lbs of meat in a single feeding? (No wonder they can sleep up to 20 hours a day!)

By the end of the book, the doodlecats were growing on me. But, in their own words, their "bungle in the jungle had come to an end." It's clear with the simultaneous publication of Seven Weeks on an Iceberg that it won't be the last we see of the doodlezoo. Cat Nap is an excellent, and dare I say, fun resource for any home or school library.

Highly Recommended.
