A lively retelling of the classic Aesop's fable for young English language learners, beautifully illustrated and full of character and humour. "Hello, I'm new here!" says Hare to slow, quiet old Tortoise. Hare talks very fast, and likes to run and jump, and before Tortoise can think twice, he has agreed to an impossible race. But maybe Hare is a little too confident, and Tortoise has a chance of winning after all? And maybe both Hare and Tortoise have some lessons to learn about determination, believing in yourself and winning and losing well. With fun activities after the story, and online audio in both British English and American English. Beautifully produced, with world-class full-colour artwork throughout, this classic story is retold in a fluent and natural style, made highly accessible for English language learners. This is part of a series devised and edited in collaboration with acclaimed ELT consultant Peter Viney.CEFR: A1 Lexile: 440L Key Stage: EYFS, KS1
