Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In this funny Caldecott Honor-winning fairy-tale retelling by Janet Stevens, 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?
A trickster story sure to spark giggles at home or in preschool and kindergarten classrooms, this hilarious Caldecott Honor picture book is perfect for fans of Louis and Unicorns Are the Worst!
Hare turns his bad luck around by striking a clever deal with the rich and lazy bear down the road.
