“Slow and steady wins the race“

blurb

I love how this author gets his story across with little to no words. He uses art to retell a story that's been told a million times. The way he presents the entire story of The Tortoise and the Hare with only 12 words is really impressive.

This is the traditional story of The Tortoise and The Hare but presented with only 12 words in the whole story. These are all the words needed to understand the message of “slow and steady wins the race.“ These are words we hear all the time, and this story could be looked at as the origination of this well-know phrase.

This is a good book to use during a morning meeting with young students (pre-k to 2nd grade) to show them the importance of taking their time on their work. It‘s easy to place value in being the first one done or the fastest, but being the fastest doesn‘t always mean you‘ll come in first.

Using his eye catching, beautiful illustrations and a few words, Jerry Pinkney tells the age old story of the tortoise and the hare. The story depicts what happens when a slow and steady turtle takes on a quick, but pompous hare in a foot race, teaching readers that it‘s good to take your time and that it‘s important not to be arrogant.

The Tortoise and the Hare is a fable for many reasons. One of the reasons is personification meaning the animals act how humans act. Another reason it is a fable is because of the moral of the story. All fables have a lesson learned or a moral and his story is a very well known one. Slow and steady wins the race and dont brag and be overconfident.

The Tortoise and the Hare is a classic tale that has been told many times in many different ways. This story has a lesson that people have been learning from forever. A tortoise and a hare decide to race. The hare has no doubt that he is going to win the race. The tortoise is calm and when they start the race the hare rushes off while the tortoise slowly moves. The hare is so far ahead he takes a nap. While the hare naps the tortoise wins.
