This book is fun. I combines a story, smiles, and science. It's also written to appeal to a wide age range.Little ones will love having this story read to them.  The photo illustrations are engaging and endearing, and your child will be able to tell his (or her) own version of the story, after hearing the book read just once.This is a tale that will have your child guessing -- to solve the mystery -- and eager to find out what happens next.  It's the kind of book children like to share with their friends, too.Older children (and gifted younger ones) will start with the easy, light story and then continue to the fascinating (but simple) science lesson that follows. It blends in with the story perfectly.  It's presented clearly, and includes facts that even parents may not know.  (I think it's a wonderful way to interest any child in science, too.)The lesson is well-illustrated, and includes several great questions so you can interact with your child when you read the book together.Some children's books are fun to read, but -- after awhile -- they get put to one side and forgotten.  This isn't one of those books."Ashes and Tiger Chase Flying Objects" is a story that your child will read & re-read (with delight), and probably refer to as late as middle school, for the science that's in it.I like this book for so many reasons, and I enthusiastically recommend it to parents, grandparents, and teachers.And really, you can't NOT smile when you see the photos of the cats.
