The Tortoise & the Hare by Jerry Pinkney
4.0

I would have read this eventually, as I love Pinkney's artwork and his folk, fable, and fairytale retellings - but this was one of the finalists for my public library's staff Mock Caldecott, so I read it with several others for that purpose. Whereas the onomatopoeia in Lion & Mouse seemed forced to me, and I didn't like it, it was absolutely perfect in this. Pinkney's interweaving of the Uncle Remus culture to the tale was also perfect.
