Beautiful! Count me in.
Love it! My dad used to read me Aesop's fables when I was little.
This has been a favorite for generations in our family. My old books were handed down to the oldest daughter.
Terrific book. Please enter me in the drawing.

The Hare and the Tortoise
The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other
animals. "I have never yet been beaten," said he, "when I put
forth my full speed. I challenge any one here to race with me."
The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge."
"That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you
all the way."
"Keep your boasting till you've beaten," answered the
Tortoise. "Shall we race?"
So a course was fixed and a start was made. The Hare darted
almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his
contempt for the Tortoise, lay down to have a nap. The Tortoise
plodded on and plodded on, and when the Hare awoke from his nap,
he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run
up in time to save the race. Then said the Tortoise:
"Plodding wins the race."
I love Munro Leaf, beautiful book!
These were my favorites, growing up. Throw my name in the hat?

Wow - I continue to be amazed with the Friday contests :)
Wonderful! I first learned of Aesop and his fabled fables, as I did about many things-- from cartoons. Aesop & Son, a regular feature of The Adventures of Rock & Bullwinkle.
