Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

There is quite a difference in this retelling of the classic tale. This time, not only do we meet the fast but foolish hare & the slow but sensible tortoise, be we also meet those who witnessed the famous race. Aesop's original lesson about the victory of perseverance over arrogance is enhanced as we learn about the relative speeds of a host of other animals.

Retells the events of the famous race between the boastful hare and the persevering tortoise. Includes a key to the various animals pictured in the illustrations.
