That should be the title of this book! I don't agree with the 9-12 grade reading. There is only 39 pages of text, in HUGE letters, like an early reader book, so there is very little info. There's a 2 page spread with a photo of a cat, with words and arrows identifying the parts of a cat- Whiskers, paws, ears! Two pages of Quick facts about cats- short blurb describing things like their sense of smell, hearing, balance, etc. A page of words to know "breeder-(BREED-ur) someone who breeds and raises cats or other animals Vaccination-(vak-suh-NAY-shun)- you get the gist. The info is elementary, and you can get this and more from other ragdoll cat books.Unless you're ten years old and deciding to buy a >$500 cat, avoid wasting your money on this book!

I read this book and was displeased with how it's pictures do not represent the true nature of the ragdoll breed. The information, although correct, was not usefull at all. The book has nothing about owning, raising, breeding, showing, or grooming this breed. I recomend this book only to those who are looking to learn about what the ragdoll cat looks like. \

Understand the book you are reviewing before reviewing it.

This book is indeed aimed at a young audience, ages 9-12, not grades 9-12. All books in this series are for struggling readers, hence the simple, large text. The series does a great job of getting kids interested in the topic and interested in reading. Adults who want more detailed information about the cats should read other books. This one is for kids.

i bought this book originally because i own a sphynx and wanted to have some reference material about the breed.

unforunately this book comes across as rich reference material in the description, but is anything but.

it's written as though a parent is reading it to a child, or a child is reading it themselves. (read: language that is very rudimentary)

...they should move this into the children's section and not with the reference material.

i do not recommend this book unless you are specifically purchasing it for a child who is unfamiliar with pets, and wants very very non-specific and general information about a cat.

if you are looking for things specific to the breed such as standards, care and maintenance, common concerns, etc. this is the incorrect material to purchase.

enjoy your sphynx and select the right books.
