Description: Janet Stevens’ Tops & Bottoms is a humorous retelling of a trickster tale where clever Hare, needing to feed his hungry family, outsmarts lazy Bear by striking a farming deal. Each season, Hare chooses crops so that Bear’s share—whether the tops or bottoms—ends up useless, while Hare gets the best parts. Through wit and hard work, Hare triumphs. The book’s inventive vertical format and lively illustrations earned it a Caldecott Honor
