Tops & Bottoms

Tops & Bottoms

<DIV>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, <I>Tops & Bottoms</I> celebrates the trickster tradition of using one's wits to overcome hardship. “As usual, Stevens' animal characters, bold and colorful, are delightful. . . . It's all wonderful fun, and the book opens, fittingly, from top to bottom instead of from side to side, making it perfect for story-time sharing."--<I>Booklist</I></DIV><P>This title has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 2-3, Stories)
