(4) K-3 In this "Tortoise and the Hare" retelling, nothing gets on Nate Tortoise's nerves more than the gloating of celebrity racer Lever Lapin. Nate, fed up, inadvertently challenges Lever to a race; the rest is history. Contemporary details including personal assistants, paparazzi, and overzealous fans add some humor (for adults more than kids). Watercolor and ink illustrations display Nate's frustration and Lever's braggadocio.
