This book with a new twist to Aesop's Fables, The Tortoise and the Hare, re-explains how Mr. Hare reaches the finish line later than his friend, Mr. Tortoise.

 

There are so many things to do and see in town; each road adds up the distance for Mr. Hare.

Many friends in the Fable Tale Land also need some help.

Lucky for them, Mr. Hare is there.

 

It may be a bit later than expected when Mr. Hare finds Mr. Tortoise again.

But he brings souvenirs!

Sometimes it is more enjoyable to be slow, isn't it?
