When Rabbit hears the animals talking about what a beautiful coat Otter has, he becomes jealous. After he tricks Otter out of the coat, Turtle races to make sure it is returned to the true owner in this cross between the Cherokee and Appalachian (Cherolachian) retelling of the Tortoise and the Hare.
This enchanting twist on the classic Aesop's fable is beautifully illustrated and one that both children and adults will enjoy - over and over again. Young readers also love discovering where chipmunk is hiding in the illustrations as they turn from one page to the next.
