A boastful hare meets his match in this attractive retelling of Aesop's famed tale.

Deep inside the city was a hip and happy hare. He was zipping, sometimes lippy, takin' taxis everywhere. Way out in the country was a tortoise calm and cool. He was quite the mellow fellow chillin' out beside the pool. Kids will love to move and groove with this dynamic duo as they hop and pop towards the finish line in this hip-hopping retelling of the classic tale.

'I am sure to win, but we will race if you like.' So laughs the hare when a slow tortoise challenges him to run all the way to the old cart. His speed is never in doubt but perhaps it is the hare's boastfulness that should make us question the likely outcome of the race? The simple message of this La Fontaine fable - that modesty and perseverance will always be rewarded - is gloriously told in this lovely picture book from Brian Wildsmith, an internationally acclaimed writer and artist for children. His simple words and sumptuous illustrations bring a freshness to this timeless fable and the stunning new cover design and imaginative interior typography will delight a whole new generation of young Wildsmith fans.

A retelling of the classic story with a math twist. Henry Hare was always bragging about how fast he was. One day he challenges Tessie Tortoise to a mile-long race up the hill. Henry leaps ahead for the first eighth of a mile. As Tessie approaches, he bounds ahead again. Fractions and distance measurements mark their progress as Tessie and Henry race to the finish line.

Aesop the Owl narrates and then continues the story of the famous race in this very up-to-date adaptation. The original tortoise and hare have children. Tommy Tortoise grows up as the child of a celebrity, and Harriet Hare grows up the child of an outcast; and strangely, these children are united in friendship by the way fate has shaped their lives. But other forest creatures are not happy with the outcome of the original race their parents ran. Tommy and Harriet are eventually turned against each other and coerced into running their parents' old race over again, encountering a highway full of singing automobiles, a flood and worst of all: two human children. Songs include "Take It Slow," "Do It Now," "Winners and Losers," and "The Raspberry Song."--Publisher's description
