Thibodeaux Turtle and Boudreaux Bunny: The Tortoise and the Hare with a Louisiana Twist

by Todd-Michael St. Pierre, Lee Brandt Randall (Contributor), Aesop (Contributor)

Once upon a Louisiana time, there was a turtle and a bunny. The turtle was polite, quiet, and careful; the bunny was rather rude, loud, and impatient. The turtle finally agrees to a big race against the bunny. In this Louisiana version of the Aesop tale, young children will discover that slow and steady wins the race.
