Loved this book! Cat behavior and martial arts seem to be such a perfect match for each other. Also seemed to have some elements of Buddhism in it (the 8 fold path=Jalal's Way...not a perfect match, but has some similarities). I wouldn't recommend this for very young children--some of the scenes could be disturbing for younger children. But I would say many students 4th grade and up would enjoy this book, particularly kids who are interested in action/martial arts type stories. I personally would love to see this eventually turned into an animated movie, but even if it never does, I think this book would be an excellent way for many children to learn visualizing skills.
