The Tortoise or the Hare by Toni Morrison - OPTIONAL

Morrison, Toni. Morrison, Slade. Cepeda, Joe (Illustrator). The Tortoise or the Hare, 32 pgs. Simon & Schuster/Paula Wiseman Books, $16.99. Language-G; Violence-G; Sexual Content-G. Inside cover: “Everyone knows the story of the tortoise and the hare. Slow and Steady wins the race. Or does it? When the Hare and Tortoise face each other, is it winning that’s important or the story of the race itself?” I liked this book, but it wasn’t one of our favorites. The illustrations weren’t as “eye catching” as we are used to. EL (K-3). OPTIONAL-Reviewer: SL.
