A board-book version of the award-winning story in which Little Nutbrown Hare, arms spread wide, tells his father he loves him "this much," starting off a playful contest to determine who loves the other more.

Hare challenges Tortoise to race, to the surprise of all the animals, Tortoise wins, proving that perseverance can bring success.

A journalist accidentally runs over a hare which he subsequently follows and saves. The grateful animal adopts the journalist and the two scamper together through farcical adventures and political scandals. By a Finnish writer.

Tortoise and Hare are neighbors, but they have very different approaches to life: Hare does everything super quickly, but does not always pay attention to what is around her, Tortoise does things slowly and thoughtfully, but sometimes he fails to finish tasks--so when they agree to a race, Hare is certain she will finish first, but instead both Hare and Tortoise discover that what is most important is having a friend to keep you in balance.
