Tops & Bottoms

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have a young niece who is a reluctant reader. For a Christmas gift last year, she received a book each month from Librarian Aunt Donna. I chose Caldecott Medal winners. She loved every book I sent to her and really got into them. She want's me to send her more. That reluctant reader is learning the joy of reading and being introduced to some wonderful books. Tops & Bottoms is an Uncle Remus story about a wylie rabbit and an unsuspecting bear. It is a funny story.

Teachers loved the book

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

We used this book as a springboard for education about Michigan's vegetable farmers at our corn maze last year. Teachers loved the book, many had used it for years to teach 4-8 year olds about crops growing on top, in the middle and on the bottom of a plant. We had stations throughout our maze with veggie information. Young visitors had a card with a game to do as they found the stations, so when they emerged from the maze their field trip was both aMAZEingly fun, as well as meeting science and nutrition curriculum goals.

One of our favorite books!

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018

This is one of our favorite books. The illustrations are beautiful. Aside from the “tops and bottoms” storyline, the concept is reinforced through the book's unique binding (spine is at the to vs. to the left). It’s very fun and different. The story is great and teaches a valuable lesson; you need to work for what you want and cleverness and hard work pays off. I highly recommend this book. It’s enjoyable for children and adults alike.

One of my favorites

This book is one of my favorites from teaching pre-school, so I share with many of my friends for their kiddos. A smart book teaching kiddos about gardening and edible parts of those plants - the tops, or the bottoms! Enjoy - really is a great book!

My grandson lives in a different state. He is 5. We read and discussed this over FaceTime! Great story about paying attention so Rabbit does trick you! Good info on about veggies that grow underground, above ground and in between.

Economics, morals, and gardening

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

Beautifully illustrated, with the tops and bottoms concept reinforced by the book's unique binding (spine is at the top vs. to the left). Teaches economics, entrepreneurship, morals and gardening all at once - in a fun way. I bought this copy for my 6 and 3 year-old grandchildren, but encountered it first working with 3rd graders in a Junior Master Gardener curriculum. This clever tale appeals to all ages - children and adults. No wonder it was selected as a Caldecott Honor Book.

This book was hysterical and teaches the readers it is better to do a little work and reap the rewards instead of taking naps all day long.

A new classic - well worth buying!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2001

Verified Purchase

It seems Mr. Rabbit is in a bit of a fix. After losing that race to Turtle, he's in a bit of a financial jam. So, he goes to Bear and makes a deal.
The Rabbit family will plant and harvest the crops on Bear's land. Rabbit will split the crops with Bear 50/50. All Bear has to do is decide which half - tops or bottoms - he wants.
Unfortunately, whether the crop is potatoes, lettuce, corn, or radishes, Bear keeps picking the "wrong half".
This is a hillarious story that kids of all ages will appreciate. For visual interest, the book is designed to flip from top to bottom (as opposed from left to right).
Janet Stevens' artwork alone is worth the cost of the book!
Enjoy!

Great book, but doesn’t work in a digital format

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

A lovely book but the format doesn’t work at all in Kindle so I’ve returned the digital book and will but the physical version instead. The first photo shows the page in Kindle versus the second photo from the book.
