Cats and Us


Cats and Us
A Fifteen-Thousand-Year Fascination
by Marta Pantaleo

When human beings first encountered wild cats, they could see things in the dark that our eyes couldn’t, and their hunting helped keep pests away. Eventually, they became our companions, and joined us on journeys across the sea to faraway lands. Soon, the whole world became obsessed with cats!

Based on extensive research, this narrative nonfiction picture book traces the special relationship between humans and these furry felines — a purr-fect introduction for the youngest of readers to the mysterious world of cats! Includes backmatter with further information on the cat breeds featured in the book.

“Will leave younger cat lovers appreciating their kitties even more for sticking around so long.”
