National Geographic Readers: Cheetahs (National Geographic Kids Readers) Paperback – July 12, 2011

The media could not be loaded. My 4yo is obsessed with cheetahs. I bought this to help answer all of her questions: "how fast are cheetahs?" "why are they fast?" "why do cheetahs have spots?" etc etc. It's a small, slim book of cheetah facts and photos. Not a story if that's what you're looking for, but great for kids who want to learn more about a favorite animal.

My daughter is obsessed with cheetahs so this was the perfect gift for her. It’s full of great cheetah facts and easy for her to read.

My niece needed to do a report for school about Cheetahs so we ordered this book for her so that she could find out more information about them. The pictures are wonderful, she especially loves the one with the little cheetah cubs, and the information was easy for her to understand (She is in kindergarten). There is plenty of information in the book to help her finish her report and she is going to take the book to share with her class. Her older sister (8) read the book to her and enjoyed it also. She was able to read most of the book by herself with us helping with a couple of the words she had not seen before such as coalition (the book does give a pronunciation guide for this word as well as a few others, which is great). And they both loved the Cheetah joke about where does the Cheetah have the most spots. You will have to read the book to find the answer . They loved trying to make all the Cheetah sounds and were surprised to find out that Cheetahs chirp. (I didn’t know this either). This is the first National Geographic book that we have purchased for them but we will be buying others in the future. The only compliant that I have is now they both want a baby Cheetah for a pet. 

National Geographic Kids books are great. The illustrations and photographs are amazing and the information they provide is set up in a way that keeps your children engaged and interested. They have small paragraphs and pop out boxes of facts over beautiful photographs and illustrations, instead of just a boring block of text. My girls love them and we have amassed quite a collection.This particular book is about Cheetahs. They talk about many things including the differences between cheetahs and other wild cats, their speed, where they live, baby cheetah cubs, and even how to protect them from extinction. My 6 year old loves learning the facts and reading the books while my 3 year old loves the pictures, especially the baby pictures. My 6 year old has been really interested in these types of educational books lately and has been asking for more, which we are happy to encourage.We have purchased many of the National Geographic Kids books for our collection and they are a big hit in our house. There are so many different books with various subjects that will appeal to any kid. These are highly recommended. If you haven't already, do your kids a favor and start their collection today.

My 2 year old LOVES this entire series of Nat. Geo Readers... I have purchased about 25 different titles, "pre-readers" as well as Level 1 & 2 readers. She loves them all & will ask for certain ones. The "pre-readers" level books are extremely simple & great because she memorizes the words & can "read" it herself. We love the more advanced ones too, because there is more information to talk about. I have learned quite a few facts, myself!) What a great series. The price is reasonable & pictures are great. These are really getting her interested in nature, animals & science... I will continue to buy these as they are released, for our collection!

The photos and layout are very friendly for young children. I got this book to go along with some cheetah toys for my 2 year old grandson.

Paperback well made, vibrant color, easy to read and understand, and the right size for little hands to hold.

This was a great way for my son to learn about Cheetahs. Every Easter, the Easter Bunny adopts an animal for our son and leaves a book and a stuffed animal in the Easter basket with the adoption cards. I love that he was able to read parts of this book with me. The facts were stated in an easy to read and remember way. There were jokes in it too that he found funny. And the pictures are beautiful. The Easter Bunny might look for this type of book again this year!
