A brand-new title - Sleepy Cheetah - in this successful series of African folktales.
This is the story of how Cheetah got her distinctive spots, and discovered that she could run as fast as the wind.
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 simply tripped over her. But one day there is a fire on the plain, and all the other animals are fleeing. Will Cheetah discover her speed in time?
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.
