The 500-Mile Race is more than just a race for Justin Potemkin. Justin, the grandson of the losing hare in the well-known Tortoise-Hare Race years ago, is the hero of this clever story about a Russian peasant who takes on the czar, Mos Romoonoff, and a tortoise named Lenin in an attempt to win back the honor of hares. Justin is teased endlessly for his ancestor’s loss, his position in life, and his name, which sounds a lot like “pumpkin.” Hardcover.
