Reading Champion: Hare and Tortoise Have a Race

This story is part of Reading Champion, a series carefully linked to book bands to encourage independent reading skills, developed with Dr Sue Bodman and Glen Franklin of UCL Institute of Education (IOE)

Fantastic, original stories are accompanied by engaging artwork and a reading activity. Each book has been carefully graded so that it can be matched to a child's reading ability, encouraging reading for pleasure. Perfect for 5-7 year olds.

In this twist on the traditional Aesop fable The Hare and the Tortoise, Hare and Tortoise decide to have a race. Hare has a fast car and Tortoise has a slow bike. Hare is sure he will win!
