Tops & Bottoms
illustrated and adapted by Janet Stevens, and published by Harcourt Brace & Company
About
91´«Ã½
"Gardening has never been such fun as in the rollicking, colorful romp of Tops & Bottoms. Sleepy, sprawling bear is outwitted by the wily hare, who succeeds in feeding his numerous offspring with abundant vegetable harvests. The vertical format is perfect for the lively cover adaptation of a trickster tale. Handmade vegetable paper and a masterful use of mixed media are un-'beet'-able. From top to bottom, Stevens has created a zesty, organic combination of story and illustration."
