 0-8889-434-6. Toronto, Ontario: Groundwood Books/ Douglas & McIntyre, 2001. Unp. $15.95. This colorful book is reminiscent of Aesop's fable about the tortoise tortoise (tôr`təs), common name for a terrestrial turtle, especially one of the family Testudinidae. Tortoises inhabit warm regions of all continents except Australia.  and the hare, in this case telling a story about a race between a toad and a deer deer, ruminant mammal of the family Cervidae, found in most parts of the world except Australia. Antlers, solid bony outgrowths of the skull, develop in the males of most species and are shed and renewed annually. . Beautifully illustrated, the book depicts how a toad cleverly outwits the deer, who is confident of a convincing victory. Readers may learn not to underestimate intelligence. Ages 3-5.--S.G.
