About this listen
Quick, name the world’s fastest animal! Did you say cheetah? If so, you’re right - sort of. Sure, the cheetah can reach speeds over 70 miles per hour (mph); but did you know that there is a species of bird that can fly faster than a race car? Did you know that that’s not even the fastest animal there is? This “dashing dozen” of nature’s speediest species examines the fastest on land, air, and sea. This story will resonate with children taking standardized tests…one size does not fit all!

"Large and small, land and sea animals, birds and beasts, reptiles and insects: They tell their king the facts about their abilities. Husky says: 'I am the fastest over long distances.' Ostrich wants all participants to 'run on two legs to be fair to everyone.' A sea turtle thinks that the race should be held in the water, an idea heartily endorsed by a black marlin. A majestic peregrine falcon insists on the sky because these birds fly at 240 miles per hour, but a small free-tailed bat pipes up and says that the race 'should be at night!' What’s a wise ruler to do? The king creates 'an Olympics' with multiple events." (Kirkus Reviews)
