About Too Many Carrots
Product description The bestselling picture book that Publisher's Weekly calls "simultaneously sassy and sweet." Rabbit loves carrots and that's a big problem! In this phenomenal bestseller, Rabbit loves carrots a little too much. In fact, his carrots are crowding him out of his cozy burrow. When his friends offer to help, they're just asking for trouble, a lot of trouble! This charming and lovingly illustrated children's book, by acclaimed author Katy Hudson (A Loud Winter's Nap and Bear and Duck), shows how friendships get us over the rough spots in life, even if the going gets a little bumpy. Too Many Carrots is the perfect springtime, Eastertime, and anytime gift. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1—Carrot-obsessed Rabbit enjoys collecting his favorite vegetable to the point that his den is so crowded with carrots that there isn't enough room for him. Rabbit sets out to solve his problem. Tortoise offers to share his shell with Rabbit. Rabbit (along with a dozen obligatory carrots) squirms into Tortoise's shell, and Tortoise's shell cracks. Now Tortoise and Rabbit both need a place to sleep, so they ask Bird. After three bodies and a load of carrots are stashed into Bird's nest, the branch breaks. The three homeless friends move in with Squirrel. After Rabbit fills Squirrel's tree with carrots, there is no room for the four of them. So the story goes until Rabbit feels so bad that he has made so many of his forest friends homeless that he invites everyone back to his den to stay and share his delicious cache of carrots. Hudson's watercolor and ink illustrations are sprinkled with fun details, like house signs. The critters' faces are as expressive as they are cute, adding feeling to the dialogue-heavy storytelling. Children will empathize with Rabbit's need to collect and keep his favorite things near him at all times. They may even think a bit about sharing, the ultimate message of the book. VERDICT This entertaining addition is suitable for sharing one-on-one or in a group.—Mindy Hiatt, Salt Lake County Library Services, UT About the Author Katy Hudson won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Best Book Award Gold in 2014 for her illustrations in the book Animal Teachers.
