Little Ant and the Snail: Slow and Steady Wins the Race — S.M.R. Saia

When the snail challenges him to a race, Little Ant can't resist the opportunity to show off. He knows there is no way that the snail can beat him. But he soon finds out that there is more to winning than being the best! This story is a re-imagining of Aesop's fable "The Tortoise and the Hare" and teaches that slow and steady wins the race.
