Media reviews
Jimi Hare is fast and Jamey Tortoise is smart. Everyone avoids them, calls them names, and demeans their talents as tricks. When Jimi and Jamey sign up for a race, one practices while the other plans. The tortoise is told that reversals, such as the winner who loses, make the most satisfying newspaper story. The hare hears that the largest crowd gets more attention than the loudest cheers. On the day of the race, the tortoise travels on bus, train, and plane, while the hare dances, runs, and invents new stunts to draw the crowd. Though Jimi Hare crosses the finish line first, all who know AesopâÈçs fable understand the headlineâÈ'âÈêWINNER LOSES! LOSER WINS!âÈë Giving a new twist to an old tale, these two lonely and talented characters eventually become friends. Any reading of this tale will depend on knowledge of AesopâÈçs fable. Illustrations are rendered in oil paints showing bright animated characters against textured backgrounds. Occasional rhymes (âÈêBecause he always won, they said he was no funâÈë) enliven the text. This contemporary retelling should spark interesting discussions.âÈ' -SLJ
