The 2022 Shortlists for the CCBC Book Awards Honour Excellence in Canadian Books for Young People
After her parents are duped by a coyote who is a master of disguise, Harriet ("Harry" for short) and her seven younger siblings are left to fend for themselves. Their only resource is their parents' now-empty bedroom, so Harry and her brothers and sisters open a "hare bed and breakfast." It is a great success. Then, the coyote comes calling again, and learns that revenge is a dish best served as breakfast.
Award-winning author Bill Richardson and acclaimed artist Bill Pechet join forces in this charming and hilarious tale about self-reliant young hares and a coyote who gets her comeuppance.
About this Author
Reviews
"An amusing and very relevant cautionary tale."
"A little dark, a whole lot of clever and completely charming."
"A reader's first impression of "Hare B&B" is of how beautifully and insightfully integrated the words and pictures are. Even on the cover and the immediate inside pages the illustrations, playfully sketch-y and delicately coloured - are full of detail and underscore the joyful resilience of the story (its wordplay kicking off with the title). And what a story - it holds excellent life lessons and standards in a lightly "Series of Unfortunate Events" tenor."
"Richardson's witty wordplay might be the hook here, but readers will want to stick around for the satisfying molasses-and-feathering."
"In this latest offering from highly-acclaimed author Bill Richardson, sly humour and subtle whimsy result in an offbeat tale of family love, hotel hijinks and crises averted (with molasses and feathers, no less)."
