Eric Carle's illustrations are once again amazing in this book. It tells the classic tale of the tortise and the hare with Eric Carle's unique twist. (

Eric Carle uses his painted collage artwork again and it makes the book worth looking at just because of his amazing illustrations. I believe that folktales are sometimes harder for children to grasp because the concepts, themes, and morals are not as blunt; however, with Carle's wonderful artwork, the book is not only worthwhile for children to read but also can help for a better and more engaging learning experience.

This is a retelling of Aesop's Fables with a modern twist. A great way to teach kids about character and morality. (
