Abstract
This canvas-bound children's reader contains seven stories. The fourth, My Lucky Day (42), builds off of TH. It is presented as a drama with one or two cartoon-like illustrations per page. Rabbit challenges Turtle to run to the schoolhouse. Along the way, cat and dog ask both to help, but only Turtle stops to help. Turtle finds Rabbit in a hole and gives in to Rabbit's pleading to help him out of the hole. As he pulls him out with a rope, Turtle falls backward--over the finish line! A surprised Turtle asks How did I win? All I did was stop. Young readers are left to learn for themselves from the story that stopping to help may actually help a person to win.
