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!

Carolyn Le was born in Viet Nam and grew up in California. She dreamed of becoming an illustrator and, after graduating from Otis College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration, she illustrated her first picture book, Clarence and the Traveling Circus. Carolyn's watercolor paintings are a reflection of the beauty she sees around her, from the bright sunny Southern California days to the memories of the books she loved to read as a child. She has received numerous awards for her art and has shown her work in galleries in Los Angeles and London. Carolyn is living her dream (occasionally with a bunny roommate), sharing her love of art with her students, illustrating picture books and exploring writing and illustrating her own books.
