Harry in a Hurry
Timothy Knapman, Gemma Merino
Harry in a Hurry is Timothy Knapman and Gemma Merino’s unique twist on the well-loved Aseop’s Fable, The Tortoise and the Hare. Harry the Hare is always in a hurry – he’s not even sure why! He eats fast and talks fast – and if he’s riding on his speedy scooter then you’d better watch out! But when Harry accidentally hurries his way into the local pond, and Tom the Tortoise fishes him out, Harry is forced to take a leaf out of Tom’s book and slow right down. In doing so he not only finds a new friend, but enjoys a whole new world of experiences.

Enjoyed the book and learnt that rushing around isn’t always good and to take your time is better and to enjoy things more!

I think this book was funny because Harry was a rabbit who did things always in rash, he spoke fast and he goes on his scooter fast causing damage whenever he was going. Utill is scooter got damage and he asked Tom the turtle to repair his scooter but it took long time Yes I would recommend it

I really like this book and my favourite part was when he did everything really fast and I liked harry when he realizes that sometimes you have to do things slowly

It was funny when one went very fast and the other went very slow.

If you go too fast, you might hurt yourself but if you go slower, you can see lots of beauty all around you. I liked the message of the story.

Liked this book so much esp when mum read it out loud with a slow deep voice. My fav pet was when the tortoise tried the scooter

I liked it because Tom showed Harry that food can be delicious & a home can be cosying. If he just slowed down.

My favourite character is the tortoise. It loves fishing! I like it when Harry nearly fell in a hole.

Really good, I like stories about people helping and the tortoise still helped his friend even when Harry wasn't always kind.
