Product Description
The Fastest Tortoise in Town
Author: Howard Calvert
Format: Paperback
Recommended for ages 3+
The old fable of the tortoise and the hare gets a fresh, funny retelling in this brightly illustrated story. Barbara Hendricks the tortoise has signed up for a road race and, with only a week to go, doubts she stands a chance against the other animals.
Encouraged by her friend and owner Lorraine to train a little more each day, she lines up beside a slow loris, a snail, a sloth and a walrus, and comes to realise that simply doing her best means she has already won. A gently humorous tale of perseverance and self-belief.
