by Laura Marsh (Author), National Geographic Kids (Author)

Adorably cute and amazingly fast, the cheetah is a perennial favorite among kids. This National Geographic Kids Level 2 Reader will delight kids with beautiful photographs and mind-boggling facts about this majestic and mysterious cat.

From rolly-polly cuddly cubs to sleek and powerful night-stalking predators, it's no wonder why the cheetah is an all-time kid favorite. Boasting the title of "fastest land animal," these spotted big cats can go from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds. Bursting with fascinating facts and rich, colorful photography, readers will learn everything from the way they sleep to how they hunt and raise their young. They'll also learn "weird but true" facts like how the ancient Egyptians kept cheetahs as pets and how kids today can own cheetah-breeds as pet cats!

NGK Level 2 Readers are perfect for kids reading independently or with only occasional adult help. They feature longer sentences and more complex vocabulary.
