Abstract

en_US This book was first produced in a hardbound edition in 2002. Both story and illustration are done with care here. The worrywart hare is afraid that the world will break up. The fall of a mango interrupts her nap. When it crashes to the ground, she thinks that the world is indeed breaking up, and she starts to run. Thornhill's paintings have a beautiful border pattern, repeated with variation of color and implementation in each picture. She may be at her best in pictures of mass movement. The best among these show all the hares rushing, then all the various animals rushing, then all the animals stopping, and then -- perhaps the best -- all the animals moving back to their habitat. This is not the first time that I have seen the lion tenderly carry the timid hare on his back as they return together to check the scene where the world was supposedly breaking up. The front flyleaf lists several awards that the book won, especially in Canada.
