SynopsisIn this Caldecott Honor-winning retelling by Janet Stevens, a wily Hare solves his family's problems by tricking rich and lazy Bear into giving up half his crops. Once a upon a time, there was a lazy Bear and a clever Hare. Bear had lots of money and lots of land but all he wanted to do was sleep. Hare had nothing but hungry children, so he came up with a plan to convince Bear to split his land down the middle--tops and bottoms. Hare can work all day and Bear can sleep. It's the perfect solution! Or is it? This hilarious Caldecott-honor picture book is perfect for fans of Louis and Unicorns Are the Worst!, Hare solves his family's problems by tricking rich and lazy Bear in this funny, energetic version of an old slave story. With roots in American slave tales, Tops & Bottoms celebrates the trickster tradition of using one's wits to overcome hardship. "As usual, Stevens' animal characters, bold and colorful, are delightful. . . .
