Customer Reviews

Cute book for little kids

A nice retelling of the classic Aesop's fable, "The Tortoise And The Hare," with two siblings in the race, instead of two critters. Cute! (ReadThatAgain)

Stella and Roy

I was very pleased with how quickly I recieved my book. I cannot begin to tell you how much the recipient enjoyed this book, she was my aunt who passed recently (cancer) and this was her favorite book in the whole world! Thank you!!!

a fun book with wonderful, evocative illustrations

The story of Stella's and Roy's fun in the park is entertaining, and the illustrations are outstanding. You and your child will enjoy following the kids around the circular path and examining the illustrations for their details.

West Coast Kids Need Their Own Books!

Growing up in San Francisco produces a complex reality for most young readers. Although books convince the child that summers are a time for swimming, fire flies and warm weather activities, any native child knows that summertime is a time for fog. In the winter it doesn't snow, despite books portraying this event. Ashley Wolff has given kids a West Coast book in which Golden Gate Park shimmers in the sunlight on a winter day, kids roller skate, matrons walk their dogs...a delightful book, sure to charm both natives and our many visitors.
