Praise
“Latimer’s digital colored-pencil illustrations humorously capture the funny details of the contests, such as Lion’s paint-splattered stick drawing of a dinosaur compared to Rabbit’s rendition of the Mona Lisa (with bunny ears). Readers will laugh at the surprise revelation that a colony of wily rabbits was in on the success. This quirky twist on ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’ is a winner.”—School Library Journal
“Precise, digitized pencil illustrations utilize simple lines, patterns and colors to highlight Lion’s mean and silly bullying antics. . . Readers with sharp eyes will be rewarded with numerous amusing visual details, including hidden hints about how Rabbit outwits Lion. A droll, nonthreatening tale of bullying in the guise of a modern fable.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Latimer’s digitally colored pencil cartoons are full of funny details (a TV color test appears in Lion’s thought bubble during a trivia challenge), and while he lets readers in on Rabbit’s secret to success, Lion simply gets a satisfying, fable-worthy comeuppance.”—Publishers Weekly
“Latimer’s illustrations are quirky and dryly funny. . . older children will appreciate Latimer’s edginess.”—The New York Times
