NATURE'S CHAMPIONS: The Biggest, the Fastest, the Best

by Alvin & Virginia Silverstein Silverstein ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 1, 1980

From the fastest runner (the cheetah), the largest reptile (salt water crocodile), and largest bird (ostrich) through 25 other record-breakers to the smartest: the human being, that ""champion of champions"" who can fly higher than the highest flier and faster than the fastest, generates more electricity than an electric eel, and is more deadly than a black widow spider. The Silversteins amass impressive statistics and explain or describe the achievements of the various champions, all in a manner somewhat more adjective- and exclamation-studded than in their previous, more centered and substantial books. The change conforms to the format, which is oversize, cardboard-covered, and illustrated with pallid, conventional indifference.
