Morrison describes a day in the life of a cheetah family, as the mother, Duma, hunts to feed her hungry cubs. The story unobtrusively weaves in basic information about physical characteristics, hunting habits, and cub behavior. Realistic acrylic illustrations, many of which mimic stop-action photography, give a wonderful sense of the cheetah's agility and distinctive body language. An endnote touches on the cheetah's endangerment.
