About this product

Product Information

In "The Two Cars" the celebrated husband and wife team of Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire, famous for their illustrated versions of Norse and Greek myths, offer young children a playful modern twist on the ancient fable of the tortoise and the hare. Two cars sit side by side in the same garage. One is fast, shiny, and ready to go; the other is a comfortable old jalopy, a little worse for wear but as reliable as can be. On a magic moonlit night, the doors of the garage swing open and they head out for a spin, each determined to prove that he is the "best car on the road." Over hill and dale and roundabout they go, encountering--and narrowly missing--trains, trucks, wildlife, and even, in the form of a policeman on a motorcycle, the long arm of the law. Before the two cars' nocturnal caper is over, each will have discovered the being the "best" is not so simple as you might suppose.
