Abstract
The presentation in this large-format pamphlet is strong. The sixteen pages alternate regularly, with full-page colored illustrations on the left and, on the right, texts in both English and Tagalog with smaller black and white illustrations. Enjoy the flying squirrel at the bottom of 3 as he studies an origami book! The hare, who is drawn in the style of Picasso, has a pogo stick. The turtle, in response to the hare's first chiding, says that he is slow but not sluggish. The hare, when he reaches the top of the hill, decides to take a nap. When the hare wakes up at sundown, he still takes his time finishing the race. The pond marks the end of the course. The turtle is in it, wearing sunglasses. There is a good moral: Do not underestimate the abilities of others. The back cover folds out. The inside back-cover contains punch-out rolling figures of the turtle and hare. There is also a nice puzzle-page with six hidden turtles and six hidden hares. This book is apparently one of five in the set.
