What is faster than a cheetah? What is faster than a jet plane? What is even faster than a meteoroid? This picture book will answer all of those questions. In this great introduction to the concept of speed, readers can compare speeds of different animals with other things like airplanes, rockets, and light. The bright pen and acrylic illustrations add humor to the simple text. At the end, the author includes a chart to compare speeds and some notes about 'very fast things.'
