The purpose of this book is to give you information on tigers and where they live. The audience of this book I think should be teen-agers and up but it could be suitable for children above the age of seven. The dialouge is dimotic and easier to understand for most educated people, then it is for example children.This book tells about the types of tigers and other interesting cats that are worth noting.It tells about where the tigers and other big cats live. How they hunt and how big their hunting area is. How much food they intake at one sitting and how long they will go without food after eating a big meal. This book tells about how they kill their prey and it even tells some of their killing tatics.One of the big cats known as the cheatah looks like a greyhound dog. I think you sould read this book if your looking for an infomational book. Maria G

Big Cats, Big Praise

This books main purpose is to inform the reader about the world of big cats. Good reading skills is an essential in reading this book. These skills will enable you to better understand this book. I would recommend this book in the near future but maybe not in 20 years because the information may change. Usborne Discovery: Big Cats captures all the aspects of big cats. It shows glorious images of big cats to help illustrate the text. This book also compares big cats to domesticated house cats to help the reader connect and experience what the author is informing the reader. They go in depth with everything from big cat mating to myths and legends about big cats. Sections and pictures from this book can be accessed online. I love animals and still learned some interesting facts from this book like the fact that tigers cannot roar. This book allows the reader to experience an animal that they may never get to experience up close. Megan S.
