This story follow a slow tortoise and a speedy hare that are in a race. In this story, the hare is very confident that he will win because he is so much faster than the tortoise. The hare gets too ahead of himself that he takes a nap by the finish of the race for too long and the tortoise ends up winning.

When the boastful Hare challenges the slow but steady Tortoise to a race, it seems like an easy victory for the speedy creature. However, Hare's overconfidence leads to unexpected consequences, while Tortoise's determination proves that slow and steady truly wins the race.

White captures the essence of the original tale while adding depth to the characters. The contrasting personalities of the overconfident Hare and the determined Tortoise are beautifully illustrated, highlighting themes of perseverance and humility.

I liked Pinkney‘s choice of leaving some pages wordless to speak for themselves, as they easily did. I believe children would make up their own stories or words for the page.

The Tortoise and The Hare by Jerry Pinkney published in 2010 is such a cute story. The words, illustrations, just everything!
