Cats vs. Dogs (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 3) Paperback – January 11, 2011

Cats vs. Dogs by Elizabeth Carney is a fantastic nonfiction book that gets kids excited about reading and learning! This National Geographic Kids book takes a fun and factual approach to the age-old debate—are cats better, or are dogs the true champions?The book is packed with cool facts, real-life comparisons, and engaging photos that keep students interested from start to finish. It’s written in a kid-friendly way, making it easy to understand while still introducing great vocabulary and science concepts. I love how it encourages critical thinking by presenting information in a way that lets kids form their own opinions.This book is a great choice for animal lovers, reluctant readers, or anyone who enjoys fun facts. It’s perfect for classroom discussions, research projects, or just for the joy of learning something new. My students loved it, and it always sparks a lively debate—team cat or team dog? 🐱🐶

Finding interesting comparisons & unknowns

National Geographic Kids books are great. The illustrations and photographs are amazing and the information they provide is set up in a way that keeps your children engaged and interested. They have small paragraphs and pop out boxes of facts over beautiful photographs and illustrations, instead of just a boring block of text. My girls love them and we have amassed quite a collection.This particular book is about the differences between Cats and Dogs. I love how this book is set up. You get facts on a particular subject about cats and then the corresponding facts about dogs, and then a winner is declared. For example, a dogs relatives are wolves, coyotes and jackals, while a cats relatives are lions, tigers and leopards with the clear winner being cats. They also compare diets, senses and behavior among other things. A really cool way of presenting the information. My 6 year old loves learning the facts and reading the books while my 3 year old loves the pictures. My 6 year old's kindergarten teacher has suggested more non-fiction books and these are perfect.We have purchased many of the National Geographic Kids books for our collection and they are a big hit in our house. There are so many different books with various subjects that will appeal to any kid. These are highly recommended. If you haven't already, do your kids a favor and start their collection today.

My granddaughter loves animals and these are great books to read and very informative

Dogs & Cats gives a great comparison of characteristics of each. I'm a new Fan of NatGeo Kids! I purchased a NatGeo Kids magazine at a BJ's a few weeks ago. I picked my granddaughter up from school 4 days after I gave it to her (1st grader) & she was busy explaining one of the articles to her principal! The pages were already dogeared & worn. She loved it! After reading the reviews, I decided to order individual readers direct from Amazon to avoid subscription issues. The books are gift quality & beautiful. I plan to give them to her one at a time. They are chocked full of information with enough pictures & quick facts to compete well with her electronic hypnotize-rs!

This is a charming book. I wanted it for a little girl who just celebrated her fourth birthday and is delighted with photos of pets.

OMG, this book is amazing. I bought it for my granddaughter who is a cat lover. I knew she would enjoy reading about the things that cats do better than dogs. The book describes which animal is best at what, dog or cat. Of course in the end, they both come out even as cats are better at some things than dogs, while dogs are better at other things. It's interesting, fun, and informative. I would recommend this book to any age child, if the reading level is above them, buy it and read it to them.

I have been searching and searching for this book! I usually buy my Nat Geo kids' books at either Target or Walmart, but I realized that Amazon has a ton available. My grade 2 students have seen this Cats vs. Dogs in the back of our other books and have been begging for it! I finally bought it online and brought it to the class library and they go crazy for it!
