Overview

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.
