Raccoon's Last Race Hardcover - 2004
by Joseph Bruchac; James Bruchac; Jose Aruego (Illustrator)
Summary
The team behind How Chipmunk Got His Stripes retells an Abenaki fable that warns against arrogance and honors the importance of keeping your promises.
Azban the Raccoon loves to race on his long legs. He is the fastest of all the animals, but he’s also the most conceited, mocking everyone with his speed. When the other animals grow tired of his attitude, Azban chooses Big Rock as his next opponent. Busy taunting instead of running, he trips, and Big Rock flattens him. Only the ants will help stretch him out againas long as he promises to be their friend. But will a trickster like Azban keep his word?
This clever and funny reimagining of a traditional story is for fans of Ed Young’s Lon Po Po: A Red-Riding Hood Story from China and David Wiesner’s The Three Pigs.
Lively, clever, and authentic.”Kirkus
The text reads aloud smoothly and keeps the action moving quickly. A strong addition to picture-book collections.”School Library Journal
