Big Race, The

Aardvark is competing in The Big Race. It's a huge challenge, since all the other animals are larger, stronger, and faster than her. But she's determined to keep going.

This inspiring story of perseverance uses gentle visual humor to keep the reader (and Aardvark!) on their toes. With the subtle introduction of concepts (up/down, over/under, etc.) and an unexpected ending, this one's a … winner.
