The Race of the Century

Downard, Barry. The Race of the Century, Simon and Schuster, 2008. ISBN: 1-416-92509-0.

The Race of the Century is about a tortoise racing againts a hare. This story is meant to teach you a lesson. The artwork in this book is done by computers, and the drawings were awesome. They were dark and bright. I would probably give this book three or four stars. A lot of kids would like this book because it is funny. My favorite part was when the tortoise was working out and the hare was dancing. I recommend this book for ages 6 to 12.
