Review
A very good book about the saber-toothed cat. This is one of the first books that I have read that has referred to these ancient beasts as a cat and not a tiger. The illustrations are remarkable. The illustrator must have done a lot of research to depict these ancient creatures so precisely. The author must have done lots of research also to bring a very detailed glimpse of this creature's every day life to the page. She touches on such subjects as survival of the fittest and the food chain.
Overall Book Score: very good
