Title: The Tortoise and the Hare
Author & Illustrator: Jerry Pinkney Copyright: 2013 Publisher: Little, Brown and Company Medium: Graphite, watercolor, colored pencil, gouache and pastel on Arches hot-pressed watercolor paper Summary: In this classic Aesop's fable, the tortoise, one of the slowest animals and the hare, one of the fastest animals decided to have a race. Using very little words, the author shows the truimpth and tribulations of the tortoise and hare. It just goes to show, "slow and steady wins the race." Ideal Students: I believe students are just beginning to read will love this story with it's simple use of words and only illustrations to convey the story. Core Standards: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7 With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts). The book fits with this standard because the story has very little wording so students need to look at the illustrations to determine what is occurring in the story.
