| Summary: | This is a space-age twist on the popular Aesop's fable, as the dust-jacket proclaims. Hare stops off at places like the North Pole and the desert before he gets serious. After the contest, these two good friends hop on the moon--six times higher than they could on earth. The combination of fable and space travel is deliberately weird and off-putting, I think. The book makes a fine example of the strange places to which fable penetrates. Retold and Illustrated by Oliver J. Corwin |
