The Hare and the Tortoise is retold here in a superbly snappy, wittily illustrated book designed to introduce very young readers to Aesop's Fables . The familiar moral tales are delivered in the form of sharp and lively narrative in bite-sized chunks that make for easy reading and plenty of discussion. A perfect book for bedtime, but equally as good for sharing with young readers who are taking their first steps towards reading alone, The Hare and the Tortoise is ideal for curious little minds. (Ages 5 and over.) -- Susan Harrison
