Truth or Lie: Cats!

Author Erica S. Perl On Tour
Illustrated by Michael Slack
Budding cat fanciers will love hunting down the TRUTH about their favorite animals in this innovative early reader.

Cats were domesticated before dogs, right? That's a LIE! The TRUTH is, dogs were living with people for 10,000 years before cats ever were! Though this engaging early reader is 100% fun, 25% of it is FALSE! In a unique Q&A format, proficient readers are quizzed about cats to see if they can separate facts from "lies." The book's mascot--the Truth Sleuth--guides readers through this funny and fact-packed book, which features photos and illustrations of a wide variety of felines.

Step 3 Readers feature easy-to-follow plots about popular topics, for children who are ready to read on their own.
