Fast Cheetah Slow Tortoise by Bette Westera & Mies van Hout translated by David Colmer

 Two-page spread with a poem on each, featuring an animal. Each poem is signed by the animal that "wrote" it.

A great book when discussing opposite and also younger children to develop their vocabulary. 

These poems' rhythm and rhyme did not appeal to me. The poems are free verse and were translated from Dutch. Maybe those two factors are why the poems did not sound so pleasant to me.

-Borrowd from the library.
