Bookroo's summary
Bear, preferring naps over farm work, is tricked by Fox into buying a 'donkey egg.' As Bear eagerly awaits its hatching, he tends to it with Hare's help. But when the egg finally opens, Bear's surprise is not a donkey but something entirely unexpected. Can Bear and Hare turn this trick into a triumph? Discover the power of friendship and perseverance in this delightful tale.
From the publisher
Featuring Bear and Hare from their Caldecott-Honor winning Tops & Bottoms, the Stevens sisters celebrate perseverance and teamwork in this laugh-out-loud story of triumph over trickery. Bear would rather sleep all day than work on his farm, and Fox knows just the kind of help he needs—a donkey! When Fox tricks Bear into buying a donkey egg, Bear can’t wait for it to hatch so he can meet his new friend. But donkeys don’t come from eggs! And when the “egg” finally opens, Bear gets a fruity surprise. Luckily, Bear doesn’t have to face disappointment alone . . . Hare is there to help!
