The Twin Princes by Ted Arnold

This is a twist on a classic fairytale. An old king must decided which one of his twin sons, Henry and Fowler, will take the throne. No o
Book Coverne knows which twin was born first, and the king decides to hold a horse race. This race will determine who will be the next king, not by speed, by cleverness. Even though this is the classic hero vs. villain tale, the main characters are chickens. Readers will enjoy the wit and the poultry-related puns throughout the story. I recommend this book for ages 5 and up.

This Aesop fable about the great race between the tortoise and the hare is wonderfully retold in a southwestern setting. Children will learn about the various animals who live in the southwest through the delighful illustrations. The book also has correct pronounciations of various words a child may not know. This book is great for ages 6 and older.
