(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sarah Goodreau. In this retelling of the classic Aesop's fable, the animals' contest runs throughout Israel, from Tel Aviv to the Dead Sea as their finish line. Along the way, Hare frolics in olive groves, buys dried apricots, and enjoys a falafel. The occasional Hebrew word appears both in the text and Goodreau's stylish illustrations. A map shows the animals' course through the country.
