Foolish Tortoise (Ready to Read) - Thryft
Foolish Tortoise (Ready to Read) - Thryft

Slow and steady wins the race.

This is a great book for young readers who are beginning to read by themselves. The relatable illustrations by Carle and the rhyming text of the book makes it an enjoyable read for children. The story teaches children the importance of being content with themselves and their abilities. It is a valuable lesson for children to learn from an entertaining story.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
