Big Cats (A Day in the Life) cover

Selected as one of the Best Picture Books of 2022 by Kirkus

"Ideal for 5+ fans of Owen Davey’s wildlife books" – The Guardian


Set over a 24-hour period, meet sparring snow leopards, sprinting cheetahs, and slumbering jaguars in this kids’ nonfiction book about the biggest cats on Earth.

Follow the lives of individual big cats as they roar, hunt, fight, and play their way through the day. Wildlife expert Tyus D. Williams cleverly weaves the story from leopard to mountain lion in the style of a nature documentary, including gentle science explanations perfect for future zoologists. Witness incredible moments including:

- A panther hunting a crocodile
- Cheetah cubs play fighting
- A battle between lionesses and hyenas

Beautifully illustrated by Chaaya Prabhat and packed with animal facts, Big Cats (A Day in the Life) is part of an exciting series of animal books from Neon Squid.
