There's Nothing Faster Than a Cheetah

Description

Buckle up for There's Nothing Faster Than a Cheetah. A laugh-out-loud funny picture book with vehicles and animals! Three, two, one... the race has begun and the animals are off! Rhinos on roller-skates, foxes in fire engines, lions in lorries, penguins on pogo sticks... There's nothing faster than a cheetah. Or is there...? Perfect for sharing together, this wonderfully wacky picture book is sure to get young readers giggling. With a bouncy, read-aloud story from Tom Nicoll, and hilarious illustrations from the award-winning Ross Collins.

Tom Nicoll is an award-winning writer of funny books for children, including the There's a Dragon in my... series and Boyband of the Apocalypse, which won the Stockton Children's Book of the Year 2019. He is also an avid, though arguably not-very-good, gamer and has written a video-game based series for younger readers called Level Up! He lives just outside Edinburgh with his wife and two daughters. Ross Collins was born in Glasgow. Growing up he was particularly fond of drawing the bionic man and precariously swinging backwards on chairs. He went on to study illustration at the Glasgow School of Art. Since then he has illustrated and written numerous books for children, with sales in over 25 languages. These include There's a Bear on My Chair, which won the UKLA award and the Amnesty CILIP Honour, and was shortlisted for the Greenaway Award. For Macmillan, Ross's books include the I Am a Tiger series and picture book editions of Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. He lives with his partner, his young son, and his dog Hugo, in Scotland.
