Abstract

en_US This is the Disney version of TH, to be sure, minus the names of the two principals. The hare appears like a champion athlete in a robe and cincture. The tortoise's first picture shows his neck extended. Snails accompany the tortoise along the route. In this French book, the starter's box has a title "Starter." The hare runs circles around the tortoise but then sleeps at the foot of a tree. The racing features a roll down a hill by the tortoise and showing off biy the hare for the rabbit girls at their "pensionnat." The various athletic impossibilities accomplished by the hare for the girls are illustrated. The hare is afterward as ashamed as a fox captured by a chicken. At the end, the book quotes La Fontaine's moral: "rien ne sert de courir, il faut partir a point" even though that is not really the issue in this race! Stiff coardbord covers and 32 thick paper pages. 6½" x 7¾".
