With clever, imaginative language and dream-like illustrations, the book takes the reader on an exuberant adventure, following fiercely competitive creatures all rather inclined to cheat in a myriad of amusing ways. A lone competitor stays true to his morals, while the other beasts swindle and hoodwink one another as they scamper over the finish line, giving the story a surprise twist ending with a meaningful lesson." -- Provided by publisher ER -
