That's Not Fair, Hare!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tim Warnes. In a race for the privilege of eating the farmer's cabbages, Muggs the kindly turtle loses to the obnoxious Hare. But when she challenges Hare to race her home, Muggs wins easily by pulling inside her shell, which is, after all, her home. The text for this take-off on the old fable could be more streamlined; however, the ending is amusing, and the simple illustrations give the animals personality.
