Amber Books Ltd The Purrfect Guide to Thinking Like a Cat
Book SynopsisYes, cats are known to be inscrutable, but their behaviour tell us more about them than we often think. Did you know that if your cat is wagging her tail at you that is not a good sign? (She’s angry.) Or what it means if her pupils are dilated? (She’s scared.) Or if she’s kneading your leg? (She’s showing appreciation.) Getting straight to the point, The Purrfect Guide to Thinking like a Cat doesn’t waste time on lengthy and complicated explanations that you will never finish reading let alone put into practice. Instead, in brief instructions the book explains how to understand your cat’s behaviour and how you can adapt your own behaviour to make the most of your relationship. Featuring 110 colour photographs, the book deftly addresses all manner of issues, from marking territory to hissing, from scratching to self-harming, from exercising to coping with other cats. Packed with easy-to-understand and easy-to-apply information, The Purrfect Guide to Thinking like a Cat is an essential guide to forging a lasting, healthy relationship with your cat.Table of ContentsIntroduction BEFORE GETTING A CAT The Five Welfare Needs Where Cats Came From How Cats Learn Cat Communication Cat Vocalization Breed Traits Picking a Breed Picking a Breeder KITTENS!

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Beatrice Was a Tree
Book SynopsisThis picture book includes information about tree anatomy, shows how trees change with each season, gives a simple explanation of photosynthesis, and includes a checklist of animals that appear throughout the story.Trade Review“Wanting to stay out all night, Beatrice wishes she were a tree . . . As the Beatrice tree changes through the seasons, the illustrations, done in watercolor, acrylic paint, gouache, and digital collage, use simple shapes and flickering colors to produce a dreamlike feel. . . . A lovely metamorphosis story.” — Booklist “[Beatrice] climbs a tree, hangs upside down, and briefly tries to ignore the call to come in for the night. . . . As Beatrice dreams of her tree, each page brings the reader a new seasonal digital collage with watercolor, acrylic, and gouache, ending with brief simple sentences and the quiet of fallen snow. An infographic page emphasizes how animals use trees, including a labeled diagram of tree parts, the seasons, an explanation of photosynthesis, and encouragement to plant. . . . A lovely art tribute to the beauty of trees through Beatrice’s dream.” — School Library Journal “As Beatrice stalls her bedtime, readers learn rudimentary facts about trees. . . . [Beatrice] imagines herself sprouting twigs and leaves. Soon, she is fantasizing about her life as a tree, first into the next day and then through the seasons. . . . Additional pages contribute a few more botanical facts, but the story itself naturally segues into naptime or bedtime.” — Kirkus Reviews “A young girl’s ‘If I were a tree…’ conjecture opens the door for an informative and imaginative journey through the seasons of arboreal life. . . . Hesselberth’s watercolor, acrylic paint, gouache, and digital collage illustrations use texture, geometric shapes, and muted colors to show a tree’s many appearances throughout the cyclical year. . . . . Diagrams of photosynthesis and the life cycle of a tree and a list of animals that rely on trees for survival provide further information on the final spread. . . . A fantastical view of trees and their place in nature.” — Horn Book Magazine
