Hare & the Hedgehog

Description

Richly detailed and realistic illustrations bring this rarely published, humorous Brothers Grimm masterpiece to life When a hare insults a humble hedgehog one morning in the field, they challenge each other to a race. The hare is sure he will win the race and get the gold coin. But the hedgehog has a secret plan up his sleeve that will demonstrate how brain power can beat brawn any day of the week. With masterful illustrations by Jonas Laustr er, this little-published gem from the Brothers Grimm leaps off the page, and will delight fairy tale fans of all ages.

The Brothers Grimm are famous throughout the world for their tales and legends, which have been translated, retold, and illustrated by myriad authors and artists. Jonas Laustr er is the illustrator of The Old Shepherd and Reynard the Fox.

"I'd also recommend The Hare & the Hedgehog . . . . Laustroeer . . . brings readers sweeping spreads, filled with energy and movement. There's a lot of humor here, too . . . I hope Laustroeer has more picture books in his future." Julie Danielson, Kirkus Reviews
