Product Description
Review
"Blue whales, right whales, humpback whales, killer whales, and more-- all strikingly photographed and lovingly described. Captivating."--" The Kirkus Reviews "Whales in their natural habitat are lavishly illustrated in this introduction to their physical characteristics and biology. The full-color photographs are lush, the text is succint, and the oversized format sets off the large scale of these magnificent creatures. A flowing text perfectly accented by the photographs. A beautiful and factual addition for all collections." --" School Library Journal
Product Description
Few animals can match the strength or grace of the big cats. A large male Siberian tiger, who eats anything from a frog to a bear, may weigh more than 600 pounds and be more than 12 feet long, nose to tail. A lion's earsplitting roar can be heard up to 5 miles away. And in only a few seconds, the cheetah can go from 0 to 70 miles an hour - that's faster than the fastest racehorse! Whether they are running, climbing, or leaping, these bundles of muscle are always ready for action.

Beautiful Photos and Great Facts about Big Cats
18 May 2000
Format:Paperback
Seymour Simon's book "Big Cats" is wonderful introduction for children to the world of the big cats. Children will love the huge, full-colour photographs of these gorgeous felines as they learn about lions, leopards, tigers and more. Written in terms that the young can quickly comprehend, this book presents interesting insights into these cats of the wild and makes learning about these animals a delight.
Another great Seymour Simon early childhood science picture book
24 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
Seymour Simon has consistently interesting early childhood nature/science books for childern. This is another example of a topic sure to intrigue the most die-hard video game addicted first grader. This will hold the interest of most boys. Very good information and pictures on he big cats, African lions, cheetahs, tigers, etc. Good educational tool to help children to put all the pieces together of animals they already have some knowledge about. Teachers and parents can use the pictures as a springboard for children's artwork. Nice book, like all of Seymour Simon books that I've seen.
Great pictures

As a teacher I'm always on the look out for books that my boys will like. They love animal stories like this one and Seymour's alligator book.
