This is a gorgeous non-fiction book from Neon Squid who are dedicated to publishing information books that make a wide range of topics accessible and intriguing to young readers by using a style that's similar to story telling, combined with the usual features of a non-fiction text.


A Day in the Life Big Cats is all about what tigers, lions and panthers get up to all day; it's written by a Wildlife Scientist who has written a short introduction to the reader that explains what his job is - a great way of introducing is career to young readers! Each page has detailed illustrations by Chaaya Prabhat, that helps to explain the text. There's a contents page, glossary and index as you'd expect - perfect for introducing features of a non-fiction text. The language used in the book is simple to understand but descriptive and the glossary helps to explain any subject specific terminology.


This would be a gorgeous gift, a fantastic addition to a school library and would be perfect as a high-quality text to use within teaching.
