Reycraft Books Presents Fun-tastic Facts About Felines in Meow! The Truth About Cats
The new book in the Truth About series puts cats in the spotlight with a Q & A format, bold photography, and delightful illustrations
New Rochelle, NY, Nov. 28, 2022—Leading children’s trade publisher Reycraft Books and author Annette Whipple have teamed up once again for Meow! The Truth About Cats the fifth book in the Truth About nonfiction series. Published in hardcover on November 1, 2022, Meow! asks the pertinent questions about our feline friends—Why do they have whiskers? How do they land on their paws? Do people need cats? and many more—and provides the answers, accompanied by striking photographs and charming artwork. The book offers additional intriguing information about cats, delivered in a lighthearted tone by none other than the cuddly kitties themselves, as well as a cover jacket that opens up to become a beautiful, full-size poster.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to share Meow! The Truth About Cats with readers, and to continue helping kids—and all of us—celebrate our curiosity about this world,” Whipple said. “Facts are fun and I love to share them. With the Truth About books, children love interesting facts paired with bold photographs and humorous art illustrations. I may have written the words, but I really think the design of these books is what really stands out—and Meow! is no exception.”
