Frances P. Hare is a champion. A lightning-fast racer, blur of fur, winner-takes-all champion of champions. And her proudest title? Fastest in the Meadow. You don't make history by sitting on your behind!

Winning is, and always has been, what Frances does best. So when a funny, somersaulting, show-off tortoise named Elanora plods into town and steals everyone's attention, Frances knows exactly what to do: challenge her to the race of the century.

Bursting with humor and personality, this fresh retelling from Rain, Rain author Josh Banday flips a familiar fable on its shell. With playful wit and heart, the story explores what it really means to win, the surprising places we find friendship, and why some victories are better when they're shared.

Featuring delightful illustrations by Julie Van Grol, The Unequivocal, Complete, and Entirely True Story of the Tortoise and the Hare (by Frances P. Hare) reminds us that friendship might just be the best trophy of all.
