- Abstract
- en_US At first this edition looks exactly like that from David McKay of the same year. But there are some clear differences. See my comments there and then note these differences. The biggest is that there is no aftermath of the race. This book stops at 43 of the other, which continues on through 48. And so two of the moments I find most objectionable in Disney's version disappear: Toby no longer proclaims If you do your best why you're bound to win.... and Max does not regain the spotlight by hailing Toby as champ. This book is not paginated. The McKay colored frontispiece is dropped; instead there is the black-and-white scene of the girls admiring Max as they sit atop the schoolyard wall. (That colored picture of both contestants and their entourages at the starting line is never regained in this edition.) Several times this edition exchanges the places of text and picture pages. The black-and-white picture of Toby passing Max (Disney 19) is not included in this version. The after-tennis picture of Max (Disney 31) is not colored here. The McKay edition inserts a copyright page and a Rudy Raccoon starter-page; Whitman juxtaposes him and Toby on both sets of endpapers. Fortunately, this book is in much better condition in both my copies, both of which I will keep in the collection.
