From the publisher

With illustrations as timeless as the tale, this edition of a classic will delight both parents and children.

Once upon a time, there was a tortoise and the hare. Tortoise was friendly and quiet. He did everything slowly. Hare was flashy and rude. He did everything quickly.

Janet Steven's signature style adds color, light, and humor to this classic fable. Parents will love revisiting this story as much as children will love reading it, as its always a good time to be rereminded slow and steady wins the race!

From the rear cover

Recounts the race between the boastful hare and persevering tortoise.
