What Cat is that? is a rhyming non-fiction book describing different the breeds, anatomy, behavior, and habitats of cats. The text is engaging with a rhyming scheme that meets the Dr. Seus standard, while clearly communicating interesting information about cats. For example, “cheetah’s claws don’t retract./They run fast and must grip/ the ground with their claws /so their paw will not slip.” The cartoon illustrations bring the text to life by depicting entire scenes, multi-pane illustrations and focal images. The variety in illustrations provide adequate context for the information presented. The back matter contains a glossary, an index, and a list for further reading. Given the rhythmic text, cartoon illustrations, and resources would work well during a story time in a public library or in classroom for lower elementary. This book is recommended for purchase as a non-fiction book for young readers. (Ages 4-8) ( )
