BR9: The Hare and the Tortoise

At that moment he saw small, brown shell shape coming up to the line. (p.41)

     Today I read “The Hare and the Tortoise”, a book in the Usborne first reading series. It was retold by Mairi Mackinnon and illustrated by Daniel Howarth.

     Hurry Hare loves running – and he loves talking about it too. When he suggests a race, nobody expects Tom Tortoise to take up the challenge. Does Tom really think he can beat the fastest hare in history?

     The story has a "moral". The moral of the story about the hare and the tortoise is: Slow and steady wins the race. I like the tortoise because he is hardworker and he doesn't give up easily. If you are interested, please read it. I recommend it.
