Non-fiction titles include glossaries where necessary. Sentences are still short for better understanding. However, grammatical vowel endings are more evident to encourage fluent reading and to provide familiarity with some higher-level features of written Arabic. This book examines the fastest animals and vehicles on land, in the air, and in water, and explores what it is that makes them capable of travelling at such great speeds. Packed with statistics and interesting facts, illustrated with stunning photographs, this information book will be enjoyed by boys and girls alike. A table on pages 22 and 23 summarises the fast facts featured within the book.
