Reviews
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Latimer's illustrations are quirky and dryly funny...older children will appreciate Latimer's edginess."
