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.
