Sleepy Cheetah

SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY

Sleepy Cheetah

By Mwenye Hadithi About · Illustrated by Adrienne Kenneway About

A brand-new title – Sleepy Cheetah – in this successful series of African folktales.

Long ago, Cheetah was sandy-coloured and lay snoozing all day on the Great African Plain. There was no need to run to hunt because animals tripped over her. But one day there is a fire, and all the other animals are fleeing. This is the story of how Cheetah got her markings, and discovered that she can run as fast as the wind.

An African tale with a traditional feel, celebrating the speed and grace of the Cheetah. The first book in the series – Greedy Zebra – was published in 1984 and the series has stayed in print ever since.
