The Tortoise and the Hare: Sommer-Time Story Classics, Book 12 (Unabridged‪)‬

Everyone enjoys a spirited competition, but when the challenger is a big-headed braggart, it's easy to cheer for the underdog - or in this case - the under-tortoise. The colorful characters in this retelling of Aesop's beloved fable will tickle the fancy of any child.

The forest animals are beyond tired of Harry Hare's boasting. So what if he is the fastest animal in the forest? Unfortunately, Teddy Tortoise is the only animal willing to race Harry Hare, but everyone knows that tortoises are not famous for their speed.

What follows illustrates the benefits that can come from having the courage to try. Listeners will also gain a new appreciation for the saying, “Slow and steady wins the race”.
