Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
I received this from a goodreads giveaway
This book had some great information about wild cats. The story was good the pictures awesome. I would have given it 5 stars but there was places where the dialogue was mixed up but that did not take away from the story once I figured it out

This is a short book to teach children about the big cats of Canada. In this series Suki and Finch begin a journey where 3D 11 year old characters travel the world to determine the healthy of the "Big Cats". In this book they are in Canada. Children, especially the animal lovers, will love this series that is full of fun and informational facts. It is realistic and current and I believe kids will be able to relate to it. The photography is beautiful and bright. The format of the book is a bit strange with the characters' dialogue happening on the right side of the page like a text conversation. Most of the left side is the animated characters on top of wonderful photos.
Suki and Finch are excited. They are hired by an anonymous organization and sent out into the wilds of Canada. Alone. They meet a Canadian lynx named Tip and a falcon named Screech that help them along the way. They run into cranky grown ups, friendly relatives, ecological devastation and other surprises. There were some issues in this book for me. At one point, Suki and Finch break into a cabin to spend the night and get upset that the owner is angry with them? They approach wild animals like they are pets, which is something dangerous to teach children. They have an opportunity to teach about clear cutting forests for human needs like furniture, huge farms and the paper industry but just talk about wood floors. The fact that they head off totally unsupervised might give younger children the wrong idea about taking off alone for an adventure. I liked that the characters break the fifth wall several times to tell the reader they are not real, but I do not think that was enough.
If conservation efforts are to be successful, it is important that children learn early on about the wide variety of endangered species and how we can make a difference. Wild Cats also includes facts about the landscape and the various other animals indigenous to the areas explored. While not without problems, Wild Cats has potential. It is a good way to introduce younger readers to the various species of big cats and the threats to their habitat.
