 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.

What folks are saying

Eccentric, detail-driven, original illustrations, rendered in delicate pencil lines washed in pale pastel hues, add edgy humour, visual energy, and whimsy to this little drama of deception and self-reliance. ~ Kirkus (read the full review)

A hare-raising spectacle!  ~ Michael Winter, author of The Big Why and Minister Without Portfolio

Hare B&B is full of life and love and tragedy and just enough restorative justice. It’s really funny too, on top of all that. I loved it.  ~ Mary Walsh, actor, director, author of Crying Down the Moon

Only a storyteller, wordsmith, bard, and punster like the inimitable Bill Richardson could come up with the notion of a Hare B& B, septuplets with chiming, rhyming names in a story that tickles the tongue and tugs at the heartstrings. Rollicking rhythm, perfect cadence from first page to last, this is a delightful, insightful and just right dose of frightful read aloud for all ages.  Exquisite, gentle art accentuates the twists and turns of this classic tale.   ~ Sheree Fitch, author of EveryBody's Different on EveryBody Street, If You Could Wear My Sneakers, Mable Murple and many more

A laugh-out-loud picture book that will delight readers of all ages.… filled with gags, puns and witty artwork that will keep children and adults laughing and thinking about the book for a long time… Harry (aka Harriet) is a hare who outwits a coyote in this clever picture book… Witty wordplay from beginning to end, with detailed drawings that extend the fun, give readers reason to explore again and again. ~ Jury comments, Marilyn Baille Picture Book Award 

Hare B&B lives up to its punning title's promise of fun. ~ CM: Canadian Review of Materials (read the full review)
