Synopsis
Aesop's Fables are given a contemporary twist in this series of retellings with bright, graphic artwork. Featuring ingenious die-cuts, you can lift the page to reveal the tortoise in his shell, then, later, turn the page to show the hare being overtaken to lose his race. The upmarket format and stylish illustrations make this series of books perfect gift material.

From School Library Journal
PreS-K—The familiar tale of the boastful hare and the plodding but determined tortoise has a contemporary feel because of the stylized digital illustrations. The creative use of font adds interest: bold for the brash hare and italicized at times for the humble tortoise. The placement of the text also adds enhances the storytelling as it takes a meandering path as the race progresses. However, there are also peek-through windows and flaps that may not stand up to heavy circulation. VERDICT A simple reteling that could introduce a new generation to this iconic tale.—Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ
