What a timeless fable this book is. The story of the Tortoise and his racing partner the Hare is a classic fable we all grew up loving. The moral of the story, "Slow and steady wins the race," can be used to teach so many life lessons. You could use this to talk about racing to finish classwork, finishing a test, pacing yourself, and many other things. This story is relatable to kids because at some point or another they have been either one of the characters. Attention to detail in this book brings the story to life. This is a book I will always have on my bookshelf in my classroom. ( )

In this classic fable a tortoise and a hare race and the hare takes breaks and naps because the tortoise is so far behind. The unexpected winner is humble and wins rightfully. This book teaches a few valuable life lessons that are helpful to learn as children. This book is a great book to use in a classroom setting as well, good for many grade levels. I enjoy reading this timeless classic fable. ( )
