The Tortoise and the Hare | Bedtime Story for Kids | Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Is the fastest always the winner? 🐢🐇

Dash the Hare is the fastest in the whole meadow, and he tells everyone every single day. So when slow, kind Tilly the Tortoise says "Let's have a race," the whole meadow comes to watch! Up the hill, through the carrots, across the stream, past the shady tree… who will reach the old oak tree first?

A gentle retelling of Aesop's classic fable about patience and never giving up. Hand-drawn in cosy crayon, with a warm, calm narrator. Perfect for bedtime, quiet time, or a cuddle on the sofa.
