Abstract
-
en_US
There are nine pieces for the piano here, as the beginning T of C makes clear. They include Poky Tortoise, A Foot Race, Fanfare, Fssst!, Plodding and Plodding, Hare Dance, K-k-k-k S-s-s-s, On and On, and Goofed! Each piece has a large or even full-page black-and-white illustration before it. The pieces are wordless, but there are a couple of prose lines before each song. There are two surprising turns to the story as it is told here. By and by all the animal friends of the field got the tortoise to challenge the hare to a foot race (7). Later, the hare intends to nap (28). There is one particularly effective illustration after the last piece; it shows the hare creeping away from the crowd ashamed of himself (36). Originally, there was a record made to accompany this book. I paid only one-third of the book's original price!
