My 6 year old son recently checked this book out from his school library. It gives a simple introduction to the breed Oriental Cats. It tells a little about how they look, what they like, etc. My six year old really enjoyed the book and thought all the pictures were "awwww, cute." Good book for beginner reader that likes cats. My son only needed help with a few words while reading it himself.
