Tops & Bottoms - by Janet Stevens (Hardcover)

This book is about Hare who tricks Bear. Hare harvests the crops while the bear sleeps, and in each season, Hare harvests the vegetables for himself while leaving Bear with the unfavorable half of the food (roots, leaves, etc.) albeit fair and square since that was the deal made before the harvest. It's a great story for kids to learn about rags to riches, making a deal, the actual tops or bottoms of vegetables, or about being fair to others. You can make a lesson out of nearly anything with this book, so it's good for kids of all ages. I bought the Lovevery vegetable puzzle from the Adventures Playkit to pair with this book for my toddler. It's a great way to teach kids what goes or grows into the ground vs above ground. I look forward to my child being able to comprehend the book more deeply someday. A 5-year-old would certainly understand the higher level thinking concepts.
