Review: Awesome! - Great book!
Review: Great, Modern Twist on a Classic - This book generally follows the classic tale of the Tortoise and the Hare but adds a bit of a modern twist (as well as some humor) through the language and illustrations. This is one of two versions of the story I purchased and much prefer this book over the more traditional one. My son is currently 2.5 years and enjoys this book - mostly for the colorful illustrations and humor (he is also a big animal-lover). While I do not think he is able to understand the moral of the story at this age, he enjoys the book nonetheless. I think this is a great addition to our home library and one that both of my children will continue to grow into.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amusing Classic Retelling of a Loved Fable
*by L***R on July 11, 2016*

Love classic literature for children, and this picture book retells the the loved Hare and Tortoise story in a colorful and amusing way. There are even some fun rhymes within. The watercolor illustrations are engaging and appealing. Children will enjoy seeing the path of the race. Watch out for the lure of those carrots, Hare! I liked the carrot-strewn mess which Hare left with a few bites out of each carrot. Of course, we know who wins. Parents and teachers can explain that fastest isn't always best. Slow and steady can get you to the finish line. At the end you see that hare and tortoise are friends, and will probably race another day. Liked the first place prize put on tortoise shell. This is a fun read aloud for children as young as two through first grade.
