Bookroo's summary
Harry the tortoise longs for a friend who enjoys the slow lane of life. While everyone else rushes by, Harry dreams of playing Slow Races and sharing leisurely conversations. Will he find someone who values the beauty of taking things slow? Discover how Harry's quest for companionship leads to unexpected friendship and the joy of being understood.
From the publisher
The author-illustrator team who brought us the best-selling LITTLE BEAR series offers a reassuring reminder that there’s an ideal friend for everyone, no matter what your style. I wish I had someone to play with, thought Harry.Someone not quick who has time to play with a tortoise. No question, Harry Tortoise is slow. He’s very, very, very slow. And everyone is so fast. If only he could find a friend as slow as he is, they could play games like Slow Races, and Turning Around and Turning Around Again. Even better, they could talk about how good it is to be slow, and how very, very nice it is to be friends. Isn’t there anyone out there who appreciates life in the s-l-o-w lane?
