What happens when someone retells the tales which we always cherish as a child?
We are very sensitive to them so either we love them or hate them. In both the cases, there is an extremity in the emotions as we have a special bond with these stories.
The Hare and the tortoise is one such story that we are attached to. Children love this tale. When I heard author Ali Lawati had retold this tale, I quickly set about reading it.
After reading I decided that no one has ever retold this tale as Canadian author Ali Lawati has.
What’s amazing in the book?
It’s the description and showing rather than telling in the story. I never knew that there were so many words and sentences to describe nature from an animal’s perspective.
Ali, cheers to you on creating such a tremendous story of a rematch between the tortoise and the whiskered hare.
Our children have got another classic story to enjoy. ‘The Greatest Race’ is an amazing read for children aged between 7 to 12 years.
