REMATCH The Tortoise and the Hare

by Craig Savoye, Kayleigh Mayes (Illustrator)

Taz the Rabbit is an innovator, risk taker, and fastest hare in the warren. But he’s also the grandson of the infamous rabbit who lost the Great Race to the Tortoise. A crisis strikes. There isn’t enough grass in the meadow for both turtles and rabbits. They decide a REMATCH of the Great Race will determine which species stays and which must vacate the farm where they all live. Taz is chosen to race for the rabbits. In order to clear his family’s name, Taz believes winning isn’t enough—he must set a new course record. He decides to use the equipment with which the farm boy tried to trap him to propel himself to record-setting victory! Except…everything goes wrong. Rematch is big on story and loaded with valuable themes and lessons about family, friendship, redemption, taking chances, and the transcendent reward when risk taking pays off.
