Book Reviews of What's Faster Than a Speeding Cheetah? (Robert E. Wells Science)

Book Review: Write on, Wells!
Summary: 5 Stars

Robert E. Wells writes about speed in a book that is fun and easy for younger elementary school kids to understand. The book compares the fastest living things such as the ostrich and cheetah, then moves on to rocket ships and meteoroids and the speed of sound and light. A chart in the back compares how long it would take each of these to reach the moon from earth! I also recommend Wells' other books: "Is a Blue Whale the Biggest Thing There Is?" and "What's Smaller than a Pygmy Shrew?" I wish more kids' books were as fun and educational as these.

Summary of What's Faster Than a Speeding Cheetah? (Robert E. Wells Science)

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.
