Hare and the Tortoise

by Paul Galdone and Aesop

Published 1 December 1962
Events are cleverly foreshadowed by a die-cut hole on each page in this retelling of a favorite Aesop's fable. "In true storytelling fashion, Jones extends this usually succinct fable into a full-length picture-book presentation . . . The cluttered pen-and-ink watercolor illustrations perfectly complement the text, offering young listeners much to ponder." -- Booklist
