The cheetah may be the fastest land mammal, but is it the fastest animal of all? Or does the award go to a soaring bird, slithering snake, or sailing fish? The fourteen animals presented in Who�s Faster? span a range of speeds, from the slow crawl of a sloth to the breakneck blur of the fastest animal in the world. With lyrical text, author Eileen Meyer describes each animal�s unique movement and then asks readers, �Who�s faster?� Kids won�t be able to stop turning the pages until they find out who�s fastest. Beautiful watercolors by award-winning illustrator Constance Bergum capture each animal�s graceful movement and include intricate details of hooves, whiskers, fins, and feathers. An appendix provides more information about each animal.

What's faster than a cheetah?—no animal on earth can run faster. But a peregrine falcon can swoop faster than a cheetah can run. And the falcon can't compare to an airplane, a rocket, or the speed of light. Lively text and watercolors will make children laugh while they learn all about speed.

The cheetah can run faster than any animal in the world. It races along at up to 70 miles per hour—that’s more than the speed limit on most highways! Plus, this sleek cat has faster acceleration than a sports car. A cheetah can go from 0 to 45 miles per hour in less than three seconds! These are some of the fascinating facts in store for kids as they learn all about these speedy creatures. Eye-popping photos and clear, easy-to-read text will engage emergent readers as they discover the anatomical features that help cheetahs reach fast speeds. A "Speed-o-Meter" graphic compares the cheetah's top speed to that of humans and racehorses.

This book, The Speed of Animals of All Kinds: Fastest to Slowest, is very unique because there is no other book on this subject that explains and gives the detailed information in the form of a rhyming poem. This book includes true facts about the animals presented, including what they each must do to survive in the wild and the realities of the world they live in. The beautiful pictures and poems that accompany each description of the animals will surely inspire interest and a great appreciation for nature and the lifestyles of the animals displayed. This is a very fun, educational book that is not only geared toward exciting the imaginations of children but of adults as well. This book is filled with facts that have been proven; thus, it is information that will never be outdated. This makes it a wonderful book to pass down to each generation and something that any library could keep in circulation. I started writing this book nine years ago when I was inspired by the struggle of different animals that had gone extinct and wondered how each animal survived out in the harsh and dangerous world. After gathering up all the information that I could about different animals, the idea came to me to write about the survival of each animal in a way that could easily be understood by children. Once I had written the poems, I began to research how to put these poems together in book form and share it with my own children and grandchildren. Creating this book, starting my own company, self-publishing my book, and beginning this journey to having it sold in stores has been a long and sometimes frustrating process, but Im determined to see it through. At the end of the day, knowing that this book I have created will educate and brighten the imaginations of children is the greatest gift I can imagine. Im very proud of the book that Ive put together. It has always been a goal in my life to educate others and provide everyone with the opportunity to learn in a safe and fun way. Education is the key to understanding and appreciating all lives on this earth. Please read a book, you might just get hooked! Respectfully, Mr. Weston Stewart

Each spread in this book illustrates one animal in detail. An eight-year-old child is included in the illustration to give the animals a sense of scale. A scale box gives an idea of their size in comparison to each other. The great diversity of the animal kingdom is the starting point of the book. The book illustrates how fast a cheetah can run, how quickly a falcon can dive and what part of a chameleon is still one moment and sprints out to kill its prey a second later. It questions whether a sloth moves at all and why some animals have to be slow to survive or fast to go in for the kill.
