Our Review

This charming picture book tackles the relatable theme of hoarding through the story of a rabbit whose carrot collection has taken over his burrow. When his cozy home becomes too crowded, his animal friends generously offer their own dwellings as temporary shelters, leading to a series of comical mishaps. Katy Hudson's vibrant illustrations bring each escalating scenario to life with warmth and humor, perfectly capturing the chaos that ensues when well-meaning help goes awry. The story cleverly weaves early math concepts into the narrative as Rabbit's carrot accumulation grows beyond manageable limits.

What sets this book apart is how it transforms a simple story about sharing into a gentle lesson about moderation and friendship. Children will delight in the growing predicament while absorbing the message about knowing when enough is enough. The tale's resolution demonstrates how true friends support each other through challenges, making it particularly valuable for discussions about generosity and community. Parents seeking stories that balance entertainment with meaningful themes will find this book offers rich opportunities for conversation about possessions and priorities.
