Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 1-In this easy-to-read retelling of Aesop's fable, Turtle rides the bus while Rabbit runs to school. Though the bus makes several stops along the way, allowing Rabbit to get ahead, he decides to stop for a snack, and Turtle arrives first. The smug victor turns to his breathless friend and says, "Let's race tomorrow-I'll give you a head start." The large print, controlled vocabulary, and simple sentences are appropriate for beginning readers. Denise's colorful illustrations and winsome animal schoolchildren reinforce the text. Rabbit is shown bolting down the road with papers, books, and pencils flying out of his backpack while Turtle sits comfortably on the bus drinking juice from his brown-paper lunch sack. A much-loved story, presented in a humorous way.
