Gr 2—4—A handsome pair of first-person critter "autobiographies" depict the life cycles of these two animals. Personal in their stories, the texts present a lively look at the creatures from birth to parenthood. Each book is chock-full of large, realistic illustrations that keep pace with the simple narratives. "Did You Know?" sections add further data on cheetah/penguin lifestyles and behaviors, and each title has a section introducing other members of the cat/penguin family. Focusing on popular animals, these eye-catching and approachable volumes will appeal to children reading on their own, to classroom teachers, and to homeschoolers.—Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
The life of a cheetah in the wild is all about finding food, even as a baby. This volume focuses on a cheetah cub as it learns to hunt with its mother. The first-person text is easy to follow, with accessible vocabulary and an engaging narrative voice. Accompanying digital-looking illustrations are lifelike and vivid. Additional facts and a quiz are appended. Glos.
