Tug-of-War by John Burningham - ADVISABLE

Burningham, John Tug-of-War.  PICTURE BOOK.  Candlewick, 2013.  $17.  

Hare is sick and tired of being harassed by Hippopotamus and Elephant.  He come sup with a clever idea to show off his cleverness and get a little back from the two bullies – and gives himself a chance to leave them far behind.  In the tradition of African folktales, Burningham crafts a brand-new tale and illustrates it beautifully.  A great addition to story time.
