Kids will love this comically illustrated story! Everyone knows the fable called The Tortoise and the Hare, but this version of that old tale has surprises and laughs that aren"t in the original. Greedy Hare challenges Muggs the turtle to a race—and the prize is Muggs"s favorite food: cabbages. Muggs gives the race her best effort, but turtles can"t go very fast under the best circumstances, and the crafty hare has a couple of sly tricks up his sleeve. It looks as though Greedy Hare is going to win, until Muggs shows that she"s a clever turtle with a few tricks of her own. Funny, full-color illustrations on every page.
