Exquisite illustrations of beautiful and intriguing wild cats from around the world accompany sparse, whimsical poetry about these wonderful creatures. Wild cats prowl,/Cautious their pace./Then they leap through the air/With mercurial grace./That's how wild cats prowl./ Wild cats prowl,/Where the rainforests lie,/Then silently grieve/As habitats die./That's where wild cats prowl. Factual information about each cat is featured in the back of the book. Cats include the caracal, snow leopard, ocelot, serval, lynx, leopard, jaguar, wild cat, cheetah and more. This book continues the very successful series which includes: Spiders Spin Webs, Butterflies Fly, Birds Build Nests and Frogs Sing Songs.
