-- Beautifully detailed woodcuts
-- Perfect read aloud and bedtime story
One day Tortoise overhears Hare boasting, "I can run so fast I leave the wind behind." "What nonsense, " says Tortoise to Hare. "I'll give you a race." Hare falls over laughing, but accepts the challenge. Aesop's most well-known fable -- pitting boastfulness and conceit against sharp wits and doggedness -- is simply but delightfully retold by Angela McAllister and is illustrated by Jonathan Heale's stylish woodcuts to create an animal classic. Ages 4+.
