Too Many Carrots

This book has been a hit with the kids for years.

My 5yo still loves this book a year later and it's still in rotation. The pages are that thick, matte paper so it feels nice, too.

Rabbit has a massive collection of carrots that he doesn't share and can't quite finish. Throughout the story, Rabbit's friends give him shelter and their homes are destroyed because Rabbit brings his carrots.After the last friends house is destroyed. Rabbit realizes that he still has a home. He makes space in his home by sharing his carrots with his friends. Sharing his carrots, gives Rabbit the opportunity to offer his friends shelter. Such a sweet ending and lesson on sharing.

TOO MANY CARROTS is clever, sweet, and thoughtfully executed. The characters are adorable. The book is beautifully illustrated. It evokes the work of A. A. Milne. A must have read for you and your littles.

I was pleasantly surprised. This is a great story with a classic feel. The illustrations are darling and the book’s details are wonderful. Small children will love looking for new details each time they look at the book.

🌷💛🌷 A review from Mrs. L. 🌷💛🌷I always believe that children should have a library of classically good books from their childhood. A box of treasured memories that ventures into adulthood with them and provides clues into the literature that formed their lives. Their memories and their creativity. Their dreams and hopes.I think that TOO MANY CARROTS is one of those books. First, it is absolutely beautifully illustrated. Exquisite detail. Bright colors. Delicate colors. The splashing water illustrations are so realistic and artfully splishy splashy wet as to make you just want to sit and stare at the picture. You have to wonder at the creative mind of the illustrator who envisions a rabbit burrow bursting with carrots and then actually executes a painting which shows the sheer creativity of that visual image.Just when you think your visual load of unimaginable situations has been satisfied, you suddenly notice the little boards painstakingly nailed up the side of a tree trunk. Well, of course! They are leading to Bird's nest and we follow a wobbly trail of falling carrots out to an impossibly and improbably placed nest, precariously resting at the very wobbled, tippy end of a branch.But, that's not even the best part!I loooooooooooooved Squirrel's house. The creaking and groaning of the tree as too many animals moved in . . .but turn the page . . .and Beaver's house floating down the strong current, a shambles of wood and Windows and carrots, I think it is one of my favorite illustrations in the whole book, until you turn the page, oh! My! I think I love the next picture the most!Love! Love! Love! The whole book! I like larger books. I think the larger size engages the child more.i love the colors. They all go with orange. The water colors are soft and dreamy with exquisitely added details in more exactingly draw lines. Delightful expressions on the animal's faces. All in all, there a lot to engage a child's attention.And not to overlook this fact. The book deals with the concept of abundance. It's important for children to learn to share and to give to others as part of learning to be a caring, loving person. This delightful book opens the communication and allows us that opportunity to share important values with the next generation.And before I forget . . .you and I both know where a turtle lives. Right? Wait until you see what Rabbit does when Turtle lets Rabbit move in with him. Such a delightful burst of creativity captured on the page!The only thing I did not like about the book is that . . . .it ended.Back to adulthood . . .

Our granddaughter loves this book. The illustrations alone are worth the cover price. We sent this book to a cousin for his pre-school children and they loved it too.

I loved page 7. I didn’t like the houses breaking. I also liked the bit where rabbit shared his house and carrots.

My two year old really enjoys this book! The illustrations are wonderful and has a nice message about sharing. This was a perfect addition to my daughters Easter basket!

Highly recommended

Read to my 20 month old. Lovely pictures.

Adorable story for Easter 🐣 and sharing

My son enjoys Katy Hudson’s books. Book is strong and story is good and the illustrations are amazing.
