Hare B&B

By (author): Bill Richardson

Illustrated by: Bill Pechet

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.

Reviews

?An amusing and very relevant cautionary tale.?
– Kirkus

?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

?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).?
