What's Faster Than a Speeding Cheetah?

by Robert E. Wells

Book Overview

If you want to win races, never race a cheetah--no animal on earth can run faster! A peregrine falcon can swoop faster than a cheetah can run, but that can't even compare to an airplane, a rocket, or the speed of light. Full color.

Customer Reviews

A Thriller

Imagine you are a boy named Sam, and you have the ability to tell if people are lying. Do you tell everybody or keep it a secret? When I read this book I was amazed, because it was so extraordinary, and I don't like reading a whole lot, but Liars is about a boy named Sam and the little town he lives in. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes twists in thier stories, because this story has a lot of twists and turns, so you never know what will happen next. This is a great book and I think that everyone should read it.

Write on, Wells!

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.
