The rabbit and the tortoise standing side by side, which is the one page here that arrives with a story already attached. Children who know the fable colour it differently from children who do not, and it is worth asking which they are before handing over the pens. The shell is divided into segments, so it takes a pattern while the rabbit stays plain. The rabbit in a field has scenery instead of company.
