This Usborne chapter book presents Aesop's classic fable, "The Hare and the Tortoise," in an accessible format for children aged 4-11. It tells the story of a speedy, overconfident hare who challenges a slow, steady tortoise to a race. The narrative gently unfolds the timeless lesson that consistent effort and perseverance can lead to success, even against seemingly superior opponents. It's an excellent book for initiating conversations about humility, hard work, and not giving up.
"Harry Hare loves running- and he loves talking about it too. When he suggests a race, nobody expects Tom Tortoise to take up the challenge."--Back cover.
