"Victor" is a beautifully illustrated children's book, from which even some adults could learn reason and empathy towards animals. It tells the story of a hunter named Victor, who finally achieved his big dream of killing a cheetah. The night after the victory over his greatest opponent, his dreams are ridden with guilt over the deed committed. So, he imagines wearing the killed cheetah skin, returning to the pack, and living among them as their equal.

Although short, this little book is full of wisdom. Reading it to a child can be really beneficial - it can start an important discussion on empathy and respect towards animals and the consequences one must face after killing a living creature.

A wonderful discovery of a book featuring amusing and inventive illustrations. The story centres around the titular "Victor", a hunter who dreams about being a cheetah. This leads to a profound change in his character. I would highly recommend it to the younger and older humans alike. For the younger generation, knowledge about the concept of death and murder is important. For everyone, the book suggests that we can imagine ourselves as someone else and that this can lead to feel compassion, better understanding of others who inhabit the world or even of ourselves.

I am still not totally sure what I thought about this!
The book is aimed at younger children and it's about a man who hunts Cheetahs and actually has ones skin, so it is very morbid but the story is actually really sweet and heartfelt and has a good message.
The illustrations arent very colourful which I feel means they may not keep the attention of a younger child.
Will give this book a solid 3.5 as I would not personally choose to read this to my young children but I can see that some people would and would love the story behind it.

While the story itself wasn’t anything special - though quite dark for a children’s book -, the art style was simply beautiful.

Wonderfully done. Victor tells the story of, well, Victor, who kills a cheetah and then regrets his actions. The illustrations are striking, and, quite honestly, gorgeous. Done in a limited color scheme, mainly green and orange, accented with red, this is a vibrant picture book with a darkish, fantastical air. Each page is a sumptuous delight for the eyes. With cheetahs!

An absolute delight this was.
It is beautifully drawn and simply engaging even though it is a kid's book.
I am fascinated by the beauty this delivered. If I had kids, I would be buying this for them to enjoy both art and story ( let alone I'll buy this for myself).

Done in a surreal style, this book tells the story of a hunter who has killed a cheetah and then has regrets and turns himself into the cheetah... or does he. I like the originality of this story. It is fairly dark for a children's book, but for those less sensitive children, it was be very entertaining.
