6/21/2023 0 Comments Tops & Bottoms by Janet Stevens![]() ![]() Bear, angered, demands the bottoms in the next crop-and gets them-the bottoms of lettuce, broccoli, and celery. At harvest time, the hares dig up the carrots, radishes, and beets that they have planted, and they give all the useless tops to Bear. ![]() When he has made his choice, the hares go about planting and watering and weeding. Bear has only to choose whether he will take tops or bottoms. Hare and his family have lost their land and now offer the bear a partnership, with all the work on their side. The victim here is the lazy bear who has land but no energy. One of the exceptional things about this book is that it positions itself so that the book opens from the bottom to the top, not from side to side. Here is a delightful presentation of the age-old story of outwitting a partner by offering-at the right time-tops or bottoms or both. ![]()
