Upper right - The Race by Caroline Repchuk and illustrated by Alison Jay published in 2002. From the front book flap, "Tortoise and Hare each packed a case, To New York City they decided to race. "Hey there, " said Tortoise. "Want some advice that you should consider once or twice? Slow and steady is the way to get somewhere without delay." "So begins this humorous retelling of Aesop's fable "The Hare and the Tortoise." The Race takes these two quirky characters around the world, via boats, planes and even a hot air balloon. In Hare's haste, he runs into all kinds of trouble, while smart Tortoise makes his slow and steady way to victory. Paired with Alison Jay's distinctive crackle-glaze illustrations, the witty text teaches children that patience and diligence will get them to their goal. The Race brings a fresh look to a fable whose timeless lesson will reach a whole new generation."

From the front book flap, "Following in the footsteps of the acclaimed The Three Little Javelinas, Northland Publishing's best-selling children's book ever, The Tortoise and the Jackrabbit tells the tale of the tortoise and the hare with a southwestern flair, as only Susan Lowell and Jim Harris can do. Tortoise, living comfortably in her home on Slow Lane, awakens one morning feeling good - even fast! She looks up with her old, old eyes at cocky Jackrabbit and challenges him to a race. Patiently bumping her way through the desert landscape, Tortoise heads for the finishe line as Jackrabbit cheerfully skips - and sleeps. Roadrunner, Tarantula, Skunk, Gila Monster, and even a Javelina or three cheer them on. It's irresistible fun for young and old alike!"

Very true, but did you ever wonder what happened the next day, the next year, the next decade?
