Cheetah Can't Lose (Hardcover)
Spring '13 Kids List
“This is perfect for teaching little ones about the ups -- and downs -- of competition. Cheetah and two kittens are about to race, and Cheetah knows he'll win it all, because he always does. When the kittens start to make fun of his confidence, hilarity ensues, unbeknownst to Cheetah. A great lesson about humility for children ' and other readers!”
— Meaghan Beasley, Island Bookstore, Duck, NC
Description
It's race day, and once and for all, it's time to determine the better feline: little cats or big cheetah.
Cheetah might be bigger, taller, stronger, faster . . . but the little cats have some tricks up their sleeves, so don't count them out!
With his signature wit and bold, graphic art, Bob Shea brings us an irresistible story about the difference between brains and brawn.
