The Hare and the Tortoise: A Fable from Aesop

40 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | March, 1999 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1318-4 $$23.90
(3) K-3 Both Ward's dryly humorous text and her crisp, carefully drafted, realistic watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations add panache to the overly familiar Aesop tale of "slow and steady wins the race." The book's type design rolls, leaps, and plunges along with the characters. A section at the end of the book provides interesting facts about the audience of animal spectators represented in the artwork.
