Gorgeous and Fact-Filled submitted by evelyn on July 7, 2015, 2:53pm This is one of the most beautiful books I’ve seen this year. Compiled by the French design firm Crushiform, this book compares the speed of different animals, airships, boats, and more. The illustrations are simply gorgeous and the book is filled with facts. For example, did you know that an Indo-Pacific Sailfish is as fast as a Cheetah? Or that a Sphinx moth is faster than a racehorse? Learn all this and more when you check out this book!

A great learning tool! submitted by crankycrack on August 19, 2015, 7:35pm Now I have an answer when my son asks what is faster than a tornado. Be sure to check out the glossary at the end which provides further details about the objects/things listed in the book.

great comparisons submitted by jackson.sarah.jean on November 2, 2015, 10:47am As a matter of fact I do know how fast a hot air balloon travels! This is a fun book that spells out in layman's terms how fast specific objects move, my kids were hooked from beginning to end!
