Julio the Bunny and the Land of the Carrot Trees is an exciting interactive adventure about a little bunny and his great love for carrots.
After feasting on Katie's delicious carrot pie, Julio is stuffed and ready for bed, but that night he has a crazy dream about carrot fairies and beautiful carrot trees. His poor friend Tommy Mouse doesn't like carrots and Camilla the Carrot Fairy begins to cry and cry until a river of tears flows. Julio Bunny can't swim and awakes with a fright. Realizing it was all a dream, Julio hears Tommy calling him to breakfast at Katie's house. Will there be carrots?
The illustrations are just as magical as the carrot trees in Julio's dream and readers will enjoy the pop-up questions and information provided through the interactive feature.
Julio Bunny and the Land of the Carrot Trees is such an imaginative created for the purpose of bringing delight to young readers. I highly recommend picking up a copy. Available from KiteReaders on iTunes and Amazon.
