    About this ebook

    "Kizlauskas' thoughtful, fun and compelling tale focuses on Rabbit, who finds that lettuce he has planted has grown as big as a building... With its complex themes presented in a simple yet delightful story, this would make an excellent addition to any picture-book collection." — Booklist

     

    HELP! There is only so much luck a Rabbit can handle…

    LETTUCE! is a deliciously tall tale about sharing. Good fortune runs amok as Rabbit watches his crop of lettuce grow and grow and GROW! What will he do with all this leafy goodness? His crew of wacky friends helps him solve his curly green dilemma.

    LETTUCE! is a colorful, beautifully illustrated picture book for children 3-6 years old. Funny, rhymed text is fun for adults to read aloud and is easy enough for boys and girls to follow along. The story told with humor works as a lesson in friendship, sharing and values as well as all-around entertainment. Great for home, library or school — bedtime or anytime!

     

    Available in Paperback and Hardcover — perfect for Gift-giving!

      LETTUCE! Colorful children's rhyming story about a bunny who grows lettuce. It's so big and thick that he can win a ribbon and be famous and make lots of money.He asks the owl for advice but they don't even have food on the shelves. That's gives the bunny the idea that he can help his friends in need.
    • 5/5
      Rabbit has a bumper lettuce crop--more like a lettuce mountain! What will he do with all of it? His animal friends have some suggestions, but none seem quite right. The illustrations are wonderful and the rhymes roll off the tongue. What a pleasure to find a children's book where all the pieces come together. Highly highly recommended.
