The Tortoise & the Hare by Jerry Pinkney
4.0

A re-telling that relies on illustrations rather than the story to impart the wisdom of "slow and steady wins the race."
The few words of the moral tumble and trudge through the pages, sparse but effective at making an impact.
The illustrations are beautifully done and the book does a fine job of showing rather than telling the fable.
This would be a great book for lap-sits and exploring books for beginning readers. The book would easily be used for discussing what is happening and forecasting future events in the story.
