Summary: This traditional tale of perseverance is told though the characters the tortoise and the hare. They decide to run a race, but the hare assumes he will win since he is faster, so he diddy daddles along and ends up losing in the end, showing that slow and steady wins the race.
Classroom Use: I will use this book to teach what makes a fable. Students will learn that fables are short stories that teach a moral lesson and the main characters are typically animals. Students will then write their own fable using The Tortoise and the Hare.
