A brilliant twist on the much-loved story of The
Hare and the Tortoise, masterfully brought to life by Axel Scheffler,
illustrator of The Gruffalo and Zog.

When Hare teases Hedgehog about his little legs, Hedgehog is so
upset he challenges the long-legged hare to a race. But Hedgehog
has got little legs and can't possibly beat Hare, especially
in all his fancy running gear...


Together with his wife, can Hedgehog come up with a plan to beat
the snooty hare, and prove that hedgehogs are cleverest of all?
