A beautifully told and just-as-beautifully illustrated story about a clever hare who knows just what he wants . and just how to get it. Mr. Hare has a secret: there are big, juicy cherries at the top of the tree, but he needs his friends help to get them down. One by one, he tricks each friend into dancing with him under the tree, until all the cherries fall to the ground and the forest friends have a great feast. Accumulation, sound words, repetition, and pure entertainment make this the perfect read-aloud book for adults and children to share.
