Description: Large, dynamic double-page-spread illustrations are only part of the charm of this very funny Chinese picture book. Easily recognizable as a trickster tale, hare solves his family’s problems by tricking rich and lazy Bear in this funny, energetic story. Tops & Bottoms celebrates the trickster tradition of using one’s wits to overcome hardship. The Bear and Hare are involved in a gardening partnership, with industrious, clever Hare reaping all the vegetable profits. The illustrator's animal characters, bold and colorful, are delightful. Hare, decked out in a lively gardening shirt and surrounded by mischievous offspring, is the image of determination. The Bear, however, wins the personality prize: he snoozes away each planting season squashed in his favorite chair, changing positions with each flip of the page. 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.
