Science Comics: Cats is a great addition to the Science Comics library. It is supremely informative while still being cute and fun for the kids. This series is extremely popular with our kids at the library and helpful enough to use for projects. It does use the “big” (actual) words to describe things, (like: phenotype) but in addition to describing things well in the sentences and the colorful, illuminating illustrations, there is also a glossary at the back of the book so kids won’t be overwhelmed by the new terminology. We will definitely be adding this book to our collection. Thank you, net galley for the digital arc.

I read an ARC from First Second via NetGalley. I have read several books from the Science Comics series and some are better than others. This “cats” addition was a solid addition that was cute and informative. The illustrations were vibrant and I learned some new things about my favorite little carnivorous hunting machines. Middle school me would have loved this as a kid. I wanted a little more about the history of cats, but alas this is the science of cats, so it covered traits, genetics, domestication, breeding, etc. in a fun way. It has a nice intro in the front and a glossary with reference materials in the back. Best for grades 5-8.

Cats, both big and small, are discussed in a scientific manner using comic-style drawings. All ages appropriate. Drawings are both beautiful and yet still realistic. Lots of information in a friendly manner. Recommended for science students, cat lovers and those who appreciate well-drawn and written non-fiction.

All the Science Comics so far are popular in my school library. This one will be a huge hit. Vibrant graphics + high interest topic = always checked out!

Science Comics: Cats was a such a cute and informative book. I thought myself practically expert on cats from having them around in my life for a couple decades, but I learned a fair bit from this book. This is a wonderful introduction to cat care and the comprehension of our feline friends and their seeming craziness. The art is well done and the text is easy to follow. I would put this reading material on the same level as Jackson Galaxy and his own impressive work with cats.

"Science Comics: Cats" is a delightful addition to the series. No matter how much a reader may know about the topic, they are bound to learn many new facts. The information is presented in such an entertaining and creative fashion along with creative and colorful illustrations,
We have several of the Science Comics books in my Media Center and I can't wait to add this to our collection.

Are you a cat person or a dog person or both? Doesn't matter. This newest selection from Science Comics will inform and entertain.

I thought I knew a lot about cat behavior and physiology, but was delighted to learn about the various patterns and colors of their coats and how that relates to their original habitats and why they are picky eaters.

Young readers will be drawn in by the story of Bean, a kitten who is looking for a home. Scientific facts blend seamlessly with the plot and illustrations. Kids will absorb much of the science without even realizing it. The perfect companion text is Science Comics: Dogs, which goes into genetics in great detail.

5-stars, pre-ordered, students are already asking me about this one.

If you are an animal lover, especially cats, then you’ll enjoy this graphic book. It is packed with information along with very colorful illustrations. The author explains such topics as hunting, the use of their hearing, their farsightedness, their means of survival, and even genetics. I think this book, in terms of understanding the full content, would be appropriate for middle grades and up. It would also be a nice addition to a classroom library.

This is another great addition to the Science Comics series. This book features wonderful illustrations with great information about how cats came to be the extremely popular pets we know and love. Bean, our narrator, is an adorable calico cat. By going back to the beginning of their appearance on earth, Bean teaches the readers about wild cats and domesticated cats. Even the evolution and genetic mutations and breeding of cats was shared in an interesting and somewhat humorous way. The information is interesting and presented in such a manner as to be accessible to both children and adults. It touches on behavior, genetics, evolution, habitats, and domestication/ It also shared what makes cats special, and answers some of the basic cat questions. How do their ears work? Why are their tongues like that? How do they always land on their feet? I was fascinated by the description and illustrations of how the "righting reflex" works. The discussion of nature vs nurture when it came to hunting was also quite interesting. The graphics are well done. They are colourful, a good mix of realistic and cartoony, and well used to help move the narrative along visually. Although this book is geared to children ages 8 and up, as an adult, I also found it quite interesting. This book would be a great addition to a classroom, school or public library.

Thanks to NetGalley and this publisher for allowing an advanced preview of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Every time I read a book in this series, I learn something new.
I know of several children right now who I can share this book with. They will benefit from what they learned and tell others that they need to read it next.
The vocabulary shared at the end of the story is extremely helpful when trying to remember the most important points to book talk with students.
I can't wait to add this to our collection.
