The Hare And The Tortoise Audiobook Story

A hare and a tortoise are not exactly evenly matched but decide to have a race. Who will win and who will learn a big lesson? Arguably The Hare And The Tortoise is the most well known Fable that is still popular today. The moral is simple and easy to understand while also being a very valuable message for children “And the moral of that story is that it's not always the fastest who wins the race.” This story also explores themes of arrogance, pride and hard work.  Aesop's fables are a collection of ancient tales credited to the famous storyteller, Aesop who is believed to have lived in Ancient Greece during the 6th century BCE. Fables are short stories that deliver a moral lesson or practical message usually through animals or mythical creatures acting on our human experiences. These stories have influenced literature across all ages and cultures.

Why do we write bedtime stories for kids?

When we first decided to create a bedtime story for kids, we knew we wanted it to be fun, engaging and high quality.

We wanted Sooper Books to bring children's publishing into the 21st century. We strongly believe that nighttime stories for kids need to fit seamlessly into modern family lives which is why our free stories are all online.

It began when we started writing stories for our own family. Then our friends and wider families asked for copies and we started to share Sooper Books with other children.

At Sooper Books we write, curate and narrate stories for kids so they can enjoy the best quality content, enchanting stories and magical adventures. With our stories we work towards promoting a positive attitude to reading and instill a love of books in children from an early age.
