Tops & Bottoms: A Clever Folktale Story About Trickery and Hard Work for Children

By: Janet Stevens (Author, Illustrator)

​

Once upon a time, there was a lazy Bear and a clever Hare. Bear had lots of money and plenty of land, but all he wanted to do was sleep. Hare had nothing but a hungry family to feed, so he came up with a clever plan.

Hare offers to do all the hard work planting and harvesting Bear’s land—as long as they split the crops into “tops” and “bottoms.” But Bear soon discovers there’s a lot more to farming than he thought!

​

Full of humour, clever tricks and colorful illustrations, Tops & Bottoms is a fun folktale that introduces young readers to different crops, how food grows and the value of hard work.
