This story teaches children the value of perseverance to keep trying, and to not give up. Very important messages can be taught with this book and will build students confidence in overcoming challenges.
pickA lively retelling of the classic tale. This book has vibrant illustrations and engaging dialogue. I love this story because it highlights the moral that “slow and steady wins the race.“
A teacher could use this to have students compare this story to other books of the tortoise, and the hare. Students could compare and contrast the stories. This also shows how fables can change over time.
pickWeek 4: Traditional Literature. Such a great story with a great lesson for students. I love the illustrations in this one. as they are accurate and modern. Published 1984.
This book would be a great way to have a discussion about friendship and sharing.

The simple, yet interesting illustrations in this story go perfectly with the narration. The story is about two turtles who found a hat, and they struggle to decide who gets to wear it. There are elements of imagination, curiosity, and humor that are engaging. The main theme that I interpreted from this story was the values of friendship and sharing with each other.
#SchoolSpirit Day 17: #Diary - I remember finding this book exceedingly odd - until I realized just how profoundly sad the characters are. Posting in advance since traveling once more. 💕
