«The Hare and the Tortoise» is Aesop's children's fable, published by Price Stern Sloan in hardcover (12 pages, in English).
The hare boasts of being the fastest and challenges the tortoise to a race. Confident of her advantage, the hare grows overconfident and stops to rest, while the tortoise advances slowly but without giving up. The outcome shows that perseverance and humility are worth more than speed.
Mini pop-up book reissued in 1982. The illustrated cover shows the hare and the tortoise in a countryside landscape.
Aimed at babies and children aged 0 to 2, it serves as a first introduction to classic fables for the youngest.
Aesop was a Greek fabulist and storyteller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although his existence remains unclear and no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales associated with him are characterized by anthropomorphic animal characters.
