A short book about where cheetahs live, what they do, and how fast they are.

Good for early readers, and simple, yet informative facts. I enjoyed the pictures and how easy it was to read. There is also a glossary in the back, perfect for early readers.

I would keep this book in the reading corner or use it on a day when we're studying animals in small groups. It would be fun to do centers and have a reading center with animal books like this.

Very simple sentences about basic cheetah info.

This children's book is full of fun facts about cheetahs, cool photos and informative text that are interesting to know. For example, did you know a cheetah could go from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds? I enjoyed this book because it brought back some childhood memories. My grandparents live next door and growing up I would always race my brother and my cousins over there. I would always win of course. One thing that I would always say is that I could run as fast as a cheetah. I didn't know at that time how fast a cheetah could actually run, but I was determined that I could run just as fast. This book could be used in a multiple of ways. One way it could be used, is as a teacher we could compare animals such as a snail and a cheetah and look at the differences in speed. Or it could be used in maybe a math lesson by calculating how long the cheetah took to get to a certain spot if he was going 60 miles per hour.

I loved this book. I especially love it for a classroom. If you are trying to teach about cheetahs of animals of Africa, then this book is perfect. It just gives different facts about teachers, and shows cute pictures to reel you in. I loved reading this book, and looking at the pictures. I encourage you to read it. That is why I gave it a 5/5 stars.

This book was alright. It's all about cheetahs of course! The pictures were decent, but I don't know... I think I would have appreciated a little more information about the animals.

Really great set of books. Easy fact retrieval for young kids. I would keep this for independent research.
