Stanek, Linda. Cheetah Dreams. Illustrator Shennen Bersani. Arbordale Publishing, 2018.  $9.95. ISBN 9781607187417. Unpaged. Ages 4-8. P7Q7 

Linda Stanek introduces conservation while highlighting the grace and beauty of cheetahs. The story is written in two styles dancing between the rhythm of poetry and informational text.  Vivid illustrations capture the motion, beauty, and power of cheetahs.

Verdict: This book will be a good addition to any library read aloud lesson on life science, conservation, and citizen science.
