Illustrated by
Reynold Ruffins.
As a boy goes for a jog with his father, he imagines himself as various fleet-footed animals--a rabbit, a horse, a bobcat, and a cheetah. Cleverly designed spreads depict each running animal alongside the running boy, whose stride changes to match those of his imaginary companions. Repetition and visual clues are suitable for the intended audience.
