Praise


Cackling!!! This was so fun and so hilarious. - Cody Roecker


Super cute! I love the idea of the bunnies underground seeing this super sweet treat growing right above them. - Alicia Gregov



What fun! Bear can't understand why his plant isn't blooming, despite all the loving care he's giving it. Little does he know the party the rabbits are having in their burrow! The story underground is as funny as the story above ground is sweet. A new go to hand sell for read aloud requests. - Kathleen Carey



Fun story about a bear who has no idea what's growing in the garden! - Alisa Edwards



Unwrapping Some Illustrations 
























The Book




An adorable little bear finds a new type of plant in his rose garden.  He is confused as to what it might be and how it got there.  He adopts it as his own and tenderly cares for it daily but the new plant won't bloom no matter how much TLC he bestows upon it.  

Many rabbits reside underneath the ground of bear's garden and they get to witness and interact with the downside of this strange plant.  They are excited because it truly isn't a flowering rose at all but a HUGE, yummy, mouthwatering, CARROT.  YES!!!!
Party time in their burrow! 

This parallel story will have kids following the duplicity of the tale and loving it.  The illustrations show perspective and are a wonderful tool to teach the concepts of up and down, and over and under.  The tale is told with humour and has a very happy ending for all the book's characters. It lends itself to be a perfect read aloud for that age group.  I love the the book and highly recommend it.
