WONDERFUL BOOK FOR CHILDREN AGES 6 - 12, 2004-05-13
This is a very factual and easy to read book for young children interested in learning more about the Ragdoll cat and cats in general. Beautiful pictures. Both my daughters loved it and still pick it up just to gaze at the gorgeous fluffy ones!!

the idiot's guide to reviewing books, 2002-12-18
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.

Idiot's Guide to Cat Ownership, 2001-08-16
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!

Not for owners, 2001-08-16
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. \
