Produktbeschreibung
Lucille isn't like the other cows on Farmer Charlie's spread. She doesn't want to stand around all day chewing cud. She longs to run in a real race, just like Thunder, Charlie's prize racehorse. Lucille's ambitions only confuse the other cows. Even Thunder can hardly conceal his contempt when he reminds Lucille that she is only a cow. Lucille doesn't care. One day, when Charlie takes them all to the fair, Lucille stumbles onto the race track and lines up at the starting gate. But Lucille soon learns that cows are not like horses at all. The track is much longer than she imagined, and soon Lucille is exhausted as the other horses leave her in the dust. How will Lucille find the strength to finish the race? A winning text by Arlene Hamilton is accompanied by artist Dean Griffiths' delightful paintings of kindly farmers, galloping equines, and mostly-placid bovines.
Autorenporträt
Arlene Hamilton grew up in Chateauguay, Quebec, and went to university in Montreal. Arlene has always loved books, and worked in a library for 10 years. When her three children were young she spent many hours reading to them, and that inspired her to start writing. Arlene loves horse racing too, but the closest she ever gets to a racetrack is when her two cats chase each other around the house. She now lives in London, Ontario, with her family. A nominee for the Mr. Christie's Book Award for Ballerinas Don't Wear Glasses, Dean Griffiths has illustrated a number of books, including The Patchwork House, The Lighthouse Dog, Loon Lake Fishing Derby and Fairy. Dean lives on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, with his wife and three cats.
