Media Reviews
Another charming, classic picture book from Alison Murray...beautiful elegant illustrations * askew & Holts Library Services *
It's hard to tell a well-known tale in a fresh, new way, but Alison Murray accomplishes that in her version of these famous competitors ... A friendly ending wraps up this excellent piece of bookmaking and reminds us there is more to life than winning-maybe a shared lettuce patch? * Book List *
An absolutely successful retelling of the classic tale; great for storytimes and recommended for any fable collection * School Library Journal *
