Overview

"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."

A little dark, a whole lot of clever and completely charming. -- CanLit for LittleCanadians 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. -- The Telegram An amusing and very relevant cautionary tale. -- Kirkus Richardson's witty wordplay might be the hook here, but readers will want to stick around for the satisfying molasses-and-feathering. -- The Globe and Mail 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). -- Atlantic Books Today
