Book Reviews of Tops & Bottoms (Caldecott Honor Book)
Book Review: A simple trickster tale :)
Summary: 4 Stars
Rabbit needs to earn some money, so he decides to cheat his lazy neighbor, Bear.
He borrows Bear's field with an agreement to split the harvest - tops or bottoms?
Well, of course, when Bear picks tops Rabbit plants root crops; and when Bear picks bottoms Rabbit picks non-root crops; and when Bear insists on a season of *both* tops and bottoms Rabbit plants *corn* and takes the middle.
Fairly lighthearted fare.
There are a few notes.
First, the book opens sideways, with one page on top and one page on the bottom. This can be a little awkward to read. Second, it's very tall, which makes it a little difficult to shelve. And finally (and really, this is minor, but it niggles at me every time), Rabbit gives the "worthless" beet tops to Bear, but beet greens are actually edible and very healthful! (Think chard, but a heck of a lot cheaper, and you get beetroot as well!)
