In this take on the story of the tortoise and the hare, Huff and Puff are in awe of a shiny new train in the yard. When the newcomer challenges them to a race, they know they will probably lose, but they are determined to do their best. Sure enough, their persistence pays off.
This is a very entertaining and colorful take on the tale, and phrased in a way that will help students understand the moral without going overboard. The simple wording, ample rhymes, large font, and expressive illustrations make this one perfect for children who are just beginning to read on their own.
