Roadsigns: A Harey Race with a Tortoise by Margery Cuyler

Cuyler, Margery Roadsigns: A Harey Race with a Tortoise illustrated by Steve Haskamp 34 pgs. Winslow Press, 2000. PICTURE BOOK. $15.95. Adapted from an Aesop Fable, this story relates the famous tale of the tortoise and the hare only it is done purely through road signs. I think it is a cute idea, but I thought the book was a little hard to follow, even being familiar with the fable. Included at the back is an illustrated page of all of the signs used in the book so it would be a great tool to use to teach kids about road signs. EL(K-3)-OPTIONAL. Whitney, Library-Teacher.
