Reviews

"This zany version of the classic fable brings it bang up to date. It is aimed at a younger audience and has wacky characters, humorous illustrations and a great new twist"
THE BOOKSELLER

"Rutt's words are eloquent, while still simple, and he uses repetition, within a changing style and pace, very fluidly. The illustrations match the story very well. A great night-time read"
TIDY BOOKS BLOG

"A hilarious, thrilling and wonderful look at the rematch between the tortoise and the hare. It's got all the energy of a Bugs Bunny cartoon, transferred perfectly to a picture book. Highly recommended"
THE BOOKBAG

"A completely brilliant, zany and laugh-out-loud take on the age-old story of the hare and the tortoise but with a twist. With wacky characters and humorous illustrations it will delight parents and children alike"
