Cats and Kittens is a colourful, informative guide, which contains everything children want to know about cats and kittens, and is packed with colour illustrations. It explains how to choose a cat, as well as giving accurate and clear advice on how to look after and train your pet. It's perfect for children who own their first kitten, as well as those interested in cats and kittens in general.

Aimed at young children from five years old, this book is also a great way to get young readers interested in different kinds of writing. A great source of information on cats, it can be used to support Key Stage One English: Reading. Follow the tips below to make Cats and Kittens a part of your child's daily reading routine. (Ages 5 to 11 years) --Amanda York

Children need to read at home every day to practise the reading skills that they have been taught: choose a time when you and your child both want to read, sit somewhere comfortable and quiet.
Before you begin to read, get a "feel" for the book by looking at the cover, front and back and talking about it. Let your child hold the book and turn the pages.
Look at the pictures. Look for the little details--they help the child to understand what the book is about. Let your child "read" the book to you by talking about each picture.
Read Cats and Kittens again and again. This helps your child to remember the information. It helps the child to recognise some of the words and they will gradually be able to read the book on their own.
If your child comes to an unfamiliar word, wait a couple of seconds to allow the child time to work it out, then help by: either encouraging the child to sound out the word or saying the word and getting the child to repeat it before continuing. Alternatively, saying something like, "Let's miss it out and read to the end of the sentence. Now can you guess what the word is?"
As your child becomes a more confident reader, encourage them to use expression.
If they make a mistake in a sentence when they have finished reading it, encourage them to go back and have another go at making the sentence make sense. If a mistake does not affect the meaning of the sentence then it is not always appropriate to correct every mistake that is made as this can undermine a child's confidence. However, if the mistake is not corrected and you feel it should be you could say something like: "That didn't make sense" or "Let's have another look at this bit."
Always praise your child while they are reading.
Read different kinds of books to keep reading interesting. Try story books, information books and poetry.
Print is all around us. Look at street signs, supermarket labels, posters etc.

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
