Stylish double-spreads list a speed on the white verso (from a hedgehog's average speed [1.5 km/h] to a shooting star [over 100,000 km/h]) with the corresponding animals, objects, and machines rendered in limited palette on the indigo-backed recto. Illustrations are striking but not to scale. Back matter is an informative paragraph about each object pictured.
