Could That Cat Be a Superhero?

A fast-moving shape runs across a rooftop. Like Superman, it seems to fly from one tall building to another. With the skill and grace of a tightrope walker, it easily balances along the top of a high fence. Then, Spiderman-like, it races up the side of an apartment block and disappears through a tiny crack in an open window--home in time for supper! They may not fight master criminals or save the world from evil bad guys, but our pet cats have all the skills needed to be called animal superheroes. Readers will discover how a cat can jump five times its own height--that's like a human jumping as high as a house! They will see how cats can fall from a great height and always land on their feet unharmed. And they will learn how cats can see in the dark, hear sounds that human ears cannot detect, and know if a friend or enemy passed by several hours ago, just by using their super-sensitive noses. In this fun-filled science book, readers will see a cat's natural skills in funny superhero-like scenarios. Then the real-life applications of those amazing abilities are explained. A hilarious fusion of photographs and illustrations make up this laugh-out-loud, fact-packed, nonfiction read.
