Hare and Tortoise

32 pp. | Candlewick | May, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-8721-2 $16.99
(2) K-3 With lively digital art and snappy narrated text, this rendition of Aesop's famous race is a funny, satisfying read-aloud. Hare's overconfidence lures him into complacency, and Tortoise manages to slip past and beat him to the barn-gate finish line. The race is given the due diligence of a serious sporting event (to comedic effect); smart design makes the story more engaging.
