Hare (Leapus swifticus) can barely stay still for a minute. He’s the fastest on the farm. Tortoise (Slow and steadicus) can stay still for a very long time. She has occasionally been mistaken for a rock. So when they decide to have a race, Hare is certain to win . . . isn’t he? Through the meadow, around the duck pond, and straight into the carrot field. Carrots? Oh, dear. Whether encountering the classic tale for the first time or tracing the racecourse map to relive it, children will be quick to realize Hare’s folly and eager to join the cheering for easygoing, persistent Tortoise. She may be slow, but watch her go! Review: Great pictures - Great book for my classroom. Great size, great pictures, very sturdy to share with students. Review: Great, Modern Twist on a Classic - This book generally follows the classic tale of the Tortoise and the Hare but adds a bit of a modern twist (as well as some humor) through the language and illustrations. This is one of two versions of the story I purchased and much prefer this book over the more traditional one. My son is currently 2.5 years and enjoys this book - mostly for the colorful illustrations and humor (he is also a big animal-lover). While I do not think he is able to understand the moral of the story at this age, he enjoys the book nonetheless. I think this is a great addition to our home library and one that both of my children will continue to grow into. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,250,788 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #403 in Children's Turtle Books #2,560 in Children's Farm Animal Books (Books) #9,677 in Children's Folk Tales & Myths (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 33 Reviews | ## Images ![Hare and Tortoise: (A Classic Aesop's Fable About Perseverance, Patience & Determination for Preschool and Kindergarten Classroom Read-Alouds and Kids Ages 2-5) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-4r+ofJoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pictures *by S***M on June 27, 2026* Great book for my classroom. Great size, great pictures, very sturdy to share with students. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, Modern Twist on a Classic *by M***A on June 14, 2019* This book generally follows the classic tale of the Tortoise and the Hare but adds a bit of a modern twist (as well as some humor) through the language and illustrations.

There are even some fun rhymes within. The watercolor illustrations are engaging and appealing. Children will enjoy seeing the path of the race. Watch out for the lure of those carrots, Hare! I liked the carrot-strewn mess which Hare left with a few bites out of each carrot. Of course, we know who wins. Parents and teachers can explain that fastest isn't always best. Slow and steady can get you to the finish line. At the end you see that hare and tortoise are friends, and will probably race another day. Liked the first place prize put on tortoise shell. This is a fun read aloud for children as young as two through first grade. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/29094359-hare-and-tortoise-a-classic-aesops-fable-about-perseverance-patience](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/29094359-hare-and-tortoise-a-classic-aesops-fable-about-perseverance-patience) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
