Lila Prap

Slovenian picture-book author and artist Lila Prap (full name: Lilijana Praprotnik Zupancic), presents both humorous fictional and engaging non-fictional answers to a series of questions about cats in this fun title. On each two-page spread, a group of three mice supply the fictional responses to such queries as "Why do cats purr?" and "Why do cats sharpen their claws?," while more informational answers are supplied by the narrator below.

I enjoyed Cat Whys, which is formatted in the same fashion as its creator's Why? and Dog Whys?, appreciating the blend of silly humor and simply-presented information. The accompanying artwork is likewise engaging, with bold colors and shapes, and a sense of humor to match the text. Recommended to young cat lovers, to fans of Lila Prap, and to those who enjoy picture-books that blend fiction and non-fiction.… (mais)

This is a great non-fiction children's book, that includes detailed illustrations of dinosaurs. This book contains a lot of interesting facts that can be both educational and enjoyable to young readers. Each page contains different information that really gets the reader invested.

Children are able to explore the evolution of dinosaurs with cute and fun pictures. I would recommend this book for an amusing read aloud to an age range of four to eight year olds!… (mais)
