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.

Jerry Pinkney‘s “The Lion and the Mouse“ is a beautifully illustrated rendition of Aesop's classic fable. The artwork has rich colors and intricate details. Pinkney‘s wordless format allows readers to immerse themselves in the visuals. This adaptation not only honors the original fable but also invites readers to reflect on the power of compassion and the unexpected connections that can form between different beings.

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.
