Items related to Big Cats
The grace and power of big cats --lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs, pumas, and snow leopards --are captured in full-color photographs and a text that explores how they hunt, care for their young, and rest in their varied natural habitats. ' The combination of action shots and the author' s practiced, informal style will win the attention of young readers, with whom Simon charges the future of big cats.' --C. Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children 1991 (NSTA/CBC) 1994 Garden State (NJ) Children's Nonfiction Award

Review:
"Blue whales, right whales, humpback whales, killer whales, and more-- all strikingly photographed and lovingly described. Captivating."--" The Kirkus Reviews "Whales in their natural habitat are lavishly illustrated in this introduction to their physical characteristics and biology. The full-color photographs are lush, the text is succint, and the oversized format sets off the large scale of these magnificent creatures. A flowing text perfectly accented by the photographs. A beautiful and factual addition for all collections." --" School Library Journal
