Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 2-4. Beginning with cheetahs' best-known quality, their speed, this very readable volume goes on to discuss their prowess and limitations as hunters as well as their prey, social habits, life cycle, and use of camouflage. Like so many books on wildlife, it ends with a discussion of threats to cheetahs' existence and their status as an endangered species. In this case, the outlook is dismal as the book notes that cheetahs are close to extinction and do not readily breed in captivity. Remarkably clear, often-dramatic color photos of cheetahs in the wild offer unusually good views of the animals. A glossary and short lists for books, organizations, and Web sites are appended. Other recent additions to the True Book animal series include volumes on bobcats, jaguars, leopards, lions, and tigers. Carolyn Phelan

Cheetahs,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cheetahs (True Books: Animals) (Paperback)
I was very disappointed in this book when I received it. It was listed for ages 9 - 12. As my grandson is 10, I thought it would be perfect. However the type is so large it looks like it is for a 6 year old. I know he will be disappointed in that and the other book I bought from the same author. But I can't afford to not use them so I am giving them to him. He is going to consider it babyish. I went to Barnes & Noble to buy something else that I could see before buying. That is what I will do from now on.

This review is from: Cheetahs (True Books: Animals) (Paperback)
Although the paperback version of this is quite flimsy, it is a good basic book for a child. I sponsored a cheetah for my nieces and wanted a book to accompany the gift.
