When I pulled Kitty Corn from the shelf, I almost put it back, That bright pink kitten looked ridiculous to me. I'm glad I kept it.
This year I'm growing carrots. Just what makes a carrot creepy?

A kitten really wants to be a unicorn and goes to great lengths to pretend to be one. Each attempt is mocked by Parakeet and Gecko. Then Kitty meets a real unicorn.
This is a story of persistence and reaching for a dream even when discouraged.
The illustrations are fun even though the kitten is fantasy. Parakeet and Gecko are fun.
Don't overlook the picture stories on the insides of the front and back covers.

What do you do if you are a carrot in a rabbit's favorite carrot patch? What do you do if you are a rabbit and think you are being followed by carrots?
The ending made me laugh.
The illustrations really make the rabbit's belief he is being followed by carrots seem crazy.
