    About this ebook

    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. Lively text and watercolors will make children laugh while they learn all about speed.

      I thought this was a super cool book to read! This book realtes the speed of different things on earth and in space. it starts with the fastest animal and then goes up all the way to the speed of light. It would be a really nice book to read to kids to show them different speeds and how things in space move much faster than they do here on earth.
