In this retelling of a classic tale, the Tortoise and the Hare, readers get to see two sides to the story. Readers will first enjoy Aesop's version of events, which teaches children that "slow and steady wins the race." Then, the jilted hare shares his version of the events that transpired that day, suggesting that there may have been some foul play involved.
