Everything Cat: What Kids Really Want to Know about Cats

Marty Crisp. Northword Press, $10.95 (63pp) ISBN 978-1-55971-864-6

The paper-over-board Everything Cat: What Kids Really Want to Know About Cats by Marty Crisp, a companion to the author's Everything Dog, once again uses a q&a format to reveal the truth about these often mysterious creatures. Questions range from the practical, such as ""Why do my cat's eyes seem to glow in photographs?"" (answer: cats' eyes contain a special membrane that reflects light so they can see better at night) to the more speculative, such as ""Do cats really have nine lives?"" (""Maybe. Certainly some cats have amazing survival stories,"" answers the author before recounting a few).
