Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-K—The familiar tale of the boastful hare and the plodding but determined tortoise has a contemporary feel because of the stylized digital illustrations. The creative use of font adds interest: bold for the brash hare and italicized at times for the humble tortoise. The placement of the text also adds enhances the storytelling as it takes a meandering path as the race progresses. However, there are also peek-through windows and flaps that may not stand up to heavy circulation. VERDICT A simple reteling that could introduce a new generation to this iconic tale.—Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast As You Can Be
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2015
It's the classic tale of THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE, but with peek-through windows and flaps. The hare believes he is the fastest animal around and challenges the other animals to race him. Only the tortoise agrees. As tradition, slow and steady wins the race. With that said, I was disappointed by portrayal of the rabbit. His comeuppance isn't exactly the same as it is in the traditional fable (or the famous Warner Brother cartoon for that matter). I was a little disappointed by that: there's a little too much of a happy ending for me. Not everyone in a fairy tale or fable gets a happy ending. Still, the book pretty much sticks to the original fable and has some really fun illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully reworked classic....
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2015
Enjoy this timeless classic in a new format that features bright, eye catching colors and die-cut flaps and windows. Preschoolers will love the graphic artwork as much as the story of the race between the tortoise and hare. For the child who has never encountered this wonderful story this is a great way of introducing him/her to the tale and don't be surprised if the book quickly becomes a favorite at story time!
