“That was a funny book.” - my six year old daughter

This was a very fun, quick, and cute story that both my daughter and I enjoyed!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the digital copy!

This is a Children's book that I read to my twin boys. I really found this book to be so cute, and my boys really enjoyed it. I have grown carrots with my boys, and they found this story to be funny. I loved the ending of this book. I found the pictures of this book to be cute. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

Thanks to Netgalley and Albatros Media for a free digital copy.

A very funny book about a teddy bear trying to do the best for his plant. While under the plant a family of rabbits is reaping the rewards of the large carrot the bear doesn't know he is growing! The illustrations are charming and the text is minimal to let the illustrations do all the heavy lifting.

This is a story of a small bear gardener who finds a new plant amongst his roses. Though try as they might, they cannot get the new plant to bloom!

Meanwhile, it turns out the new plant isn’t a flower at all but a carrot! As the gardener carefully tends to his plant, the rabbits who live below have grown more excited by the day!

I really enjoyed the illustration style of this book, especially the humorous way in which the rabbits are depicted underneath the soil. The vocabulary is simple enough for young readers, and the illustrations will keep a child entertained throughout.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Albatros publishing for the opportunity to read and review this upcoming story,

A gardener does not know the wonderful plant he has in his garden. Under the ground a rabbit family celebrates the growth of a large carrot. It shows perspective, and looking at things in different ways. great for children and teacher to help with concepts of up and down, over and under. and the idea that we don't always see things as they really are until we look closer.

This picture book is a cute story about patience, as the bear waits to see what he's growing. The rabbits watch from underground, making it clear what the plant is. While the ending is cute, the fact that the rabbits ate most of the carrots made the moral of the story a little bit confusing (almost, if you wait too long, the carrot will be gone?). The illustrations were cute and the text accessible, and my little people enjoyed reading this.

Upside Down by Katarina Macurova

When the Bear discovers a strange plant in his garden and takes care of it, he becomes puzzled as to why it doesn't bloom. All while his plant isn't blooming from his point of view, it is growing pretty massively underground from some else's point of view.

This is an adorable story. I love the story line and the authors writing style. The illustrations for the picture book are beyond cute and simple, they don't overshadow the story.

Thank you NetGalley and Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
