Shannon’s Thoughts:
Goofy’s Big Race is a retelling of a fable The Tortoise And The Hare, Goofy is the tortoise and Donald Duck is taking the role of the hare. Donald challenges Goofy to a race to the ice cream shop. As Goofy keeps trucking on “slow and steady” the infamous duck, Donald, makes many stops including taking a nap, very confident he will win.

I am a Disney fan so seeing Donald and Goofy in this story is fun. The story is probably not that different from the original fable.

Even though I am a Disney fan I think the original fable is better. I think while the characters are fun they may take away from what the fable is teaching.

I still love Disney and had many of this series when I was younger. I read them over and over until the age of 10 or 11. It is fun to go back and revisit them as an adult.
