- Abstract
- en_US Somewhere between McLenighan and McKissack's Turtle and Rabbit (1981) and Castle and Weever's The Hare and the Tortoise (1985). A lively pop rendition, with a number of changes from Aesop. The rooster, for example, (not the fox) sets the course and explains the rules. The story turns out to be like The Little Engine that Could : the tortoise works out and trains beforehand; the hare passes him twice after stops along the course before sleeping (those changes may not help the fable much!). Sometime it would be worthwhile analyzing books on just this fable alone.
