Striking photography of rare snow leopards fill the pages of this nonfiction book that teaches young readers how wonderful these mountain cats are. A perfect introduction of the subject, Snow Leopards includes brief chapters on their habitat, physical traits, diet, life cycle and the reality that they could become extinct, as theyre already endangered. The book includes a table of contents, a short glossary, a fun facts section, a bibliography and an index. It would make an appropriate addition to a library or biology classroom. A favorite section of children will likely be the pages dedicated to cubs; the adorable pictures of the baby snow leopards are guaranteed to get a childs attention. But more importantly, the book ends with a chapter titled Save Those Cats, which teaches how snow leopards are being protected across the Eastern nations. Lastly, it ends with the Fun Facts section, which includes interesting tidbits such as the fact that snow leopards, unlike their large feline relatives, do not roar; and that they each have a unique spot pattern, making everyone one of them different from the rest., Children's Literature
