A tall tale about the power of teamwork.
When sweet Little Isabelle's family plants a carrot seed one day, tall Papa Joe, wide Mama Bess, and strong Brother Abel all do their part. But when Little Isabelle wants to help too, Brother Abel just laughs. "What can you do?" he asks. "I'll sing and dance to the carrot to make it grow", she says. "And come summer, we'll have little cups of sweet carrot puddin'". Sure enough, that carrot takes a fancy to Little Isabelle's singing and dancing and grows to an amazing height — proving that great things can be accomplished when everyone works together.
Based on an old Russian folktale, and complete with a scrumptious recipe for carrot puddin', this wonderfully humorous story shows the strength of teamwork and the power of a touch of imagination.

Really fun storytime book, and great when talking about gardening or how food grows. This tells the story of how each family member contributes to growing a carrot, by watering and weeding, etc, but the thing the carrot likes best is being sung to. ( )
