Early Reader: How the Cheetah Got His Spots

Paperback (Continental Press Jan. 1, 2004)
All the animals cross the river to escape the fire, but not the proud cheetah. He braves the river to save another animal. A pourquoi tale perfect for a folktale unit.

After the Last Page…

Did you ever wonder why some animals have spots or long fur, why the giraffe's neck is so long, or why the sun can only be seen during the day? Through time, people have tried to explain different elements in nature by telling stories. A story that explains ''why'' is called a pourquoi tale. Read other pourquoi tales and then write one for something you are wondering about.

Here is a list to get started:
