Simple text and colorful photographs introduce young readers to Egyptian maus.

Quick Summary

Kids who are cat lovers or have a thing for ancient Egypt will absolutely gravitate toward this one. The colorful photographs of Egyptian maus make these sleek, elegant cats really pop off the page, and the simple text makes it perfect for beginning readers who want to feel confident reading on their own, or for parents doing quick bedtime read-alouds. It's a quick, informative little book that teaches real facts about the breed like their distinctive ticked coats and the fact that they're one of the oldest cat breeds without overwhelming young readers with too much information. If your child has enjoyed other animal picture books at this level, this fits right in, and it works nicely as a stepping stone toward longer nonfiction reads down the road.
