Great

I bought this for my 7 year old, cheetah loving son.This book has alot of vivid pictures and he can read it himself. There is a lot of information too.

Cheetahs are cheated towards extinction.

In lively text that is further enhanced by skilled photography this book presents cheetahs in a vivid and interesting way. The cheetah is in danger of extinction. The books tells of this animal's strength and weaknesses. Its speed means a good rate of kill, but its lack of endurance and a gentle nature limit its success against others who wish to take its kill. Its current mortality rate means there are more deaths than births. We are shown an animal possessing grace, beauty and gentleness that is losing the battle to survive. The clear headings along with the results of patient photography make the information very accessible. An index assists for report or project reseach. The glossary words are in bold print in the text allowing for quick checking of the meaning of such words as "dominant", "mantle" and "estrus". I recommend this book for others particularly in the age level specified, but the interest level would be for almost any age.
