Hi, Harry!
The author-illustrator team who brought us the best-selling LITTLE BEAR series offers a reassuring reminder that there’s an ideal friend for everyone, no matter what your style.

I will be using this story for the fourth and final summer session of Backyard Bookworms, a preschool story time program, at the MJC Great Valley Museum. The program is turtle and tortoise-themed, and I will be sharing the differences between the two. The children will also get to see a real turtle and a real tortoise. I will also be covering the concepts of fast and slow.

This is one of the sweetest books about trying to make friends. Peppered with subtle humor, its gentle sadness reaches and invokes empathy among young listeners toward our slow tortoise who is having trouble finding someone to slow down to befriend him.
Harry is a slow turtle who tries to make friends but everyone is just to fast for him. He tries a rabbit, a badger, and a mouse. Finally a snail finds him and they are great friends who play games like slow races.

Harry is soooo slow, and Rabbit, Badger, and Mouse just have no time to talk to him. But Harry is able to enjoy the world around him, and he eventually finds just the right friend who enjoys taking it slow, too.
Very sweet. Could work for friendship, getting-to-know-you, or turtle storytime themes.
I love this one! Everybody's too fast for poor Harry, but he finally finds a friend.
One of the best turtle books of all time! This one is a great read aloud.
A tortoise tries to find someone who will play with him at his own speed.
you can do this in a slow Harry voice. It;s great.
Cute illustrations, good book with a good message.
kindy kids enjoyed this - and i enjoyed reading to them
Just so sweet. Great for slow stories.
A sweet story about friendship
Cute book, using animals for friendship.
We could learn a lesson from a slow moving turtle. Sometimes we need to get off the fast lane of life and just enjoy the slow lane with a good friend.
