"Hudson (Bear and Duck) handily juggles profuse visual humor and a passel of life lessons, including taking only what you need, sharing what you have, and not taking advantage of friends. . . .Simultaneously sassy and sweet, Hudson's illustrations place her cast of cuddly, expressive animals in a variety of slapstick situations. . . .When life gives you carrots, Hudson suggests, make carrot cake (and juice and soup and cupcakes)." - Publishers Weekly

"Hudson's watercolor and ink illustrations are sprinkled with fun details. . . .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. This entertaining addition is suitable for sharing one-on-one or in a group." - School Library Journal

"In Too Many Carrots, a sweet story intended for children ages 2 to 7, rabbit learns the importance of sharing. . . .Illustrations accompanying the text are detailed and humorous, showing rabbit and his friends as they try to squeeze into space that is too small to accommodate them." - ForeWord Reviews
