Award-winning Japanese artist Satoe Tone's magical illustrations shine in this story about two cats falling in love.

In this beautifully illustrated, touching story, a couple of cats take an evening walk along the banks of a lake. The black cat wants only to catch a paw-full of the mysterious lights that shine in the water, to give as a gift to his friend the white cat. He fishes and fishes, but while he catches jellyfish and even an octopus, he can't quite seem to get the lights in his grasp. Can the white cat help to show him that the perfect gift isn't important, when he's already captured her heart

Reviews

Praise for The Very Big Carrot by Satoe Tone:

"Detailed, saturated color illustrations with humorous depictions of six rabbits of varying shapes and sizes steal the show in this slight, lighthearted French import."
Booklist

"When six rabbits happen upon an enormous carrot, not even the sky is the limit, as Tone demonstrates in this visually inventive story first published in France...a delight."
Publisher's Weekly
