Abstract

en_US The flyleaf rightly declares The Chase is bound to be a runaway favorite. This is a fine runaway story. A first strong feature of the story's telling here is the great use of must explanations by characters who see something but do not know why it is happening. Coyote sees Rabbit run past and says to himself If Rabbit's running that fast, there must be hunters after him. Moose sees the two of them running and says to herself If Coyote's running that fast, the river must be flooding. Part of the fun of these must statements is that each is different, well suited to the speaker. The book's artistry features an excellent central two-page panel showing five animals at a distance from each other. Another fine two-page panel shows three large animals glowering at Coyote as they ask him why he has been running. The surprise ending is excellent. Most fables of this structure have rabbit hearing a thump and thinking that it is the end of the world. Here the grouped animals ask rabbit why they have all been running. Rabbit responds Why were you running? I have no idea. But me--I was late for dinner!
