Bookroo's summary

In a world where speed reigns supreme, a boastful hare meets his match in an unlikely challenger—a slow-moving tortoise. As the race begins, the odds seem stacked against the tortoise. But could cleverness and patience triumph over arrogance and speed? Discover the surprising twists in this classic tale of wit versus swiftness.

From the publisher

Hare is the fastest animal around and he knows it. In fact, he can’t stop boasting about it. So Tortoise challenges him to a race to try and prove him wrong. There’s just one problem. Tortoise is very, very slow. How will he ever win the race?
