(4) K-3 Illustrated by Alison Jay. In this retelling of Aesop's "The Hare and the Tortoise," the famous race starts in England and ends in New York City--Hare travels pell-mell by car, plane, and hot air balloon (to name a few conveyances), while Tortoise takes a more direct but leisurely cruise. Though the story, which is told in uneven rhyme, drags and the characters lack personality, the crackle-glaze illustrations are sophisticated.
