Cheetah Cubs is a fun introduction to the life of a cheetah. It follows a group of young cubs from den to den with their mother, and then through their training and into adulthood. This book captivated my daughter (and is very timely for us, as our local zoo will be welcoming some cheetahs soon) and was enjoyable for me to read, too.

My daughter's in first grade and is into cheetahs so this was perfect for her. Great for beginning readers

My 6 year old loves this book. She was just barely ready for a level 2 reader...was scared to try one...and did great with this book as her first level 2. It was engaging, informative, and nicely illustrated. She is now obsessed with Cheetahs as a consequence of reading it multiple times to herself, to her sister, late at night when she wakes up...

I tried this also as the first Penguin (All Aboard...Reader) to see if we like them as much as the DK and National Geographic readers. I have to say that this was better than I expected and that being written as a story without all of the pop ups and little side note boxes...this was a much nicer format for a distractable child and made the flow of information much more seamless. We'll buy more of this series of readers for this reason. We like the photographs in the other series mentioned...maybe more than the illustrations in this book, and as for information, it did not exceed the National Geographic but flowed better. The levels in this series seem less difficult than the DK Readers...just as a comparison. A level 2 here might be a level 1 in the DK Readers.

Very worthwhile reader...overall, I'd take it over the comparable National Geographic one.
