About the Book
The carrot eating community of Willow Grove is stunned when all their carrot fields are suddenly empty. Where are the carrots? “Who Stole the Carrots?” is a delightful tale of how 2 rabbits and a raccoon turn detectives and make it their business to find out.
Being a little bear has its ups and downs as Madison D. Bear discovers. Becoming airborne while flying a kite is bad enough, but Madison’s troubles are just beginning. Travel with him to a strange place, and meet some very interesting people. “Time to Fly a Kite” reveals the consequences of trying to meddle with Mother Nature.
It’s time for the annual Willow Grove/Dudevale baseball match, and the local team is less than enthusiastic. Willow Grove has never won the trophy, and this is Coach Max Bear’s last chance. “Playball” is a never give up story, showing that dreams, however far fetched they might seem, can become reality — when mixed with a little luck.
