I'm a Hare, So There! by Julie Rowan-Zoch

After being mistaken for a rabbit, Hare goes into a whole spiel about how he's a hare and how different they are from rabbits. 

Thoughts: Hilarious! This book will be so fun to share in storytime. I love the speech bubbles and the animals with their bold black outlines. The Similar But Not the Same section adds another element to the book as does the find these creatures page. I think this book will pair well with Be Quiet! by Ryan T. Higgins, Fear the Bunny by Richard T. Morris, and What About Worms!? also by Ryan T. Higgins. 

Pair with any of the following for a desert themed storytime: Over on a Desert: Somewhere in the World by Marianne Berkes, The 3 Little Dassies by Jan Brett, and Mañana Iguana by Ann Whitford Paul.
