This is a fiction book. It has different fables in it. the one I liked the best was the Hare and the Tortoise. I like the tortoise because he was smart and won the race even though he was slower than the Hare. I would recommend it to someone else.

This is a lovely book to read. It tells a lesson in each story which will teach readers to be caring and nice. It also has beautiful illustrations that help to create an image in your head.

The hare was my favourite story in this book. I learnt the below morale- Slow and steady can win the race.. Try hard to get what you want.. One good turn deserves another.. Mean tricks will come back to you.. A simple quiet life beats a rich dangerous one.. Be happy with what you have.. Dont be fooled by flattery.. Little friends can be great friends..

I like the book.There is a story about the hare and the tortoise. The Hare and the Tortoise wanted to do a race. The Hare thought he was faster. But he fell asleep during the race. Then the Tortoise passed the Hare and then The Hare woke up too late because the Tortoise won the race. In this story I liked the Tortoise because he was funny. I would recommend the book because it is so helpful because there are kind animals.

I liked this story because it told us we shouldn’t be greedy or do things that are wrong.

I liked it because the rabbit said that the tortoise was slow but then he fell asleep and then the rabbit came last. i liked that each story had a morale. I want to read more of these stories.

I liked the different stories and liked guessing the morals before it told you.

This book is about how the hare is bragging about how fast he was and no one wanted to race him. So the tortoise was very confident so they raced and the hare ran straight ahead but the tortoise won in the end

I like it because it is funny and I love all the animals. My favorite tale is the fox and the stork because I love how they keep inviting each other round for tea but give each other the wrong bowl.
