Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 2 This outlined, watercolored Red may be wheelchair bound, but she has the will and perseverance of the Tortoise to defeat her own Hare, a Wolf in a track suit. Like the Little Engine, she believes she can and, with the coveted apple pie steaming in her lap during the race, she manages to overpower her athletic but dumb adversary. Unfortunately, this disingenuous blending of fairy tale and fable merely comes across as an inept sermonette on the power of positive thinking. While there is an unfortunate dearth of picture books featuring differently abled children, this rah-rah attempt (an enthusiastic Grandma and skeptical Rabbit cheer Red on to victory as she crosses the finish line), full of childish drawings, is more patronizing than inspirational.
