Lever Lapin was the greatest runner in the world. Everyone would talk about him and he was all over the news. Nate Tortoise was tired of hearing about Lever Lapin and challenged him to a race. When it was time for the race, the pistol was fired and Lever Lapin took off. Lever Lapin was in the lead until he stopped for a bite to eat and to show off in front of some of his fans. That is when Nate Tortoise passed him up and won the race. I really like how this story shows that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. ( )

Yup, O'Malley is indeed best when he goes all out to be funny. Plenty of heart & some fairly sophisticated satire & word play, but mostly just silly. If you don't give this author a chance, you're about 'as sharp as a marble' yourself! ( )

This is a picture book about a rabbit that is racing and is very confident about himself and ends up losing because he is so cocky. This book reminds me of The Tortoise and The Hair and it has the same morals and beliefs in this book. I would use this in my classroom because I do think the book has a good concept and theme to the book.

Cute take on the tortoise and hare story! ( )

Entertaining retelling of the Tortoise and Hare fable. ( )
