Illustrated by
Wes Siegrist.
In unsentimental prose this book follows two one-year-old Florida panther kittens as they roam their territory and hunt on their own for the first time. The book's strengths are its immediacy and snapshot detailing of the sights and sounds of the habitat; less successful are the stiff watercolor illustrations. A double-foldout spread cataloging the plants, insects, and animals that share the cypress forest is appended.
