The Cheetah Who Ran Too Fast and Other Children's Stories from Africa

The Cheetah Who Ran Too Fast  is a lively and beautifully illustrated collection of stories straight out of the African bush. These tales for children, written in verse, should be read out loud so that parents and children alike can enjoy their suspense, thrills and laughs.
