Translated by Shelley Tanaka.
Like the Hatfields and McCoys, the Hound and Hare families don't like each other (nobody remembers why). When Harley Hare and Hugo Hound sneak out to participate in the Big Race--then get caught in a storm--barriers are broken and new bonds forged. The story, featuring childlike colored-pencil and ink illustrations and some funny one-liners, is generally light on didacticism.
