Picture Books for Teens!

Bad Cat by Jim Edgar plays on our feline fancy. It includes 244 pictures of cats dressed up, posed, or otherwise out of their comfort zone and shows us the true inner lives of our finicky companions. While no cats were harmed in the creation of this book, there is some adult humor and possibly offensive language.

Everyone knows we share about 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees. But did you know that we also seem to share a passion for posing and hamming it up for the camera? Monkey Portraits by Jill Greenberg will have you saying "I know that guy" or "I can make that same face". Too bad the monkeys probably look cuter!
