Go Hare and Tortoise Go!

Elena Pasquali, , illus. by Barbara Vagnozzi. . Lion, $7.99 (10pp) ISBN 978-0-7459-6174-3

In this simple retellling, as the animals race, die-cut “finger-trails” allow readers to slide their fingers along the contiguous zigzag lines of Hare’s jumps or plodding along with Tortoise’s egg-shaped footprints. Vagnozzi’s zippy color combinations and thick paint strokes add zoom to the familiar story. Also available: Run Little Chicken Run! Ages 3–5. (Apr.)
