I liked reading this book for many reasons. I liked that even though this is an informational book, the author decided to give it a narrative element. He did this by creating three illustrated big cats (a tiger, lion, and cheetah) to guide readers throughout the book. These cartoon cats could be found on every page of the book, usually with speech or thought bubbles surrounding them. In addition, I liked the author’s use of text features in this book. He included captions for all of the photographs, maps of where these animals live, and diagrams labeling the parts of the animals. I felt that these text features enhanced the information in the book and were bold enough to capture the reader’s attention. The main idea of this book was to describe the life of tigers, lions, and cheetahs. The book examines the lifestyle, habitats, and diet of these three creatures. ( )
