The Tortoise and the Hare/Friends at the End (Another Point of View)

Rating:
Summary: A great children's book
Review: The Tortoise and the Hare, Friends at the End : (2 Books in 1) (Another Point of View) is one in a series of books from the Steck-Vaughn Company that pairs a traditional children's story the way it is normally told with the same story told from the point of view of "the bad guy." It is told much in the same vein as "The Three Little Pigs by A. Wolf."

First you read, The Tortoise in the Hare. Then, you flip the book upside down and read Friends at the End. Rabbit may be the fastest animal in the forest, but he is so competitive and self-centered that no one wants to be friends with him, so he is very sad and lonely. He says he didn't really stay up all night gloating that he would win but that he was thinking about a telling remark that another one of the forest animals had said about him. Read the book to your child to find out what he learns from the race and the remark that the other animal said about him. A heartwarming story and one that you won't mind reading over and over to your kids.
