How it was with Dooms, a true story from Africa- by Xan and Carol Hopcraft
This is a book in my Spring reading challenge, one I found through the ending credits of the movie, Duma.
Dooms is a nickname for the swahili word Duma which means cheetah. This book tells the story in almost scrapbook style of this family's life with Dooms, the cheetah they raise from a cub.

The hopcraft ranch is in Kenya, and before Xan is born his parents take in a lost cheetah cub. The book is full of incredible photos of Xan, from infancy growing up with Dooms. Xan's mother Carol is a wildlife photographer and this book is full of beautiful, incredible photos.
The kids and I were captivated by seeing real life photos of a real life "Calvin" growing up with a real live "Hobbes", the photos are just breathtaking-allowing the reader for a moment to see the fantasy of growing up with a beautiful wild animal-lived out.
Xan describes in 7 Chapters with lots of illustrations and photos...
