Words from the Front

Awesome Illustrations, but the Story's Resolution, Along with How It Gets There, Is Quite Problematic. 2/5 Too Many Carrots , a children's picture book by Katy Hudson (Capstone Young Readers) I bought this book in Barnes & Noble when Capstone marketing-blitzed it by paying for an entire table display in each store (I can't imagine what the budget was for that). I've read it several times and experienced several emotions reading it, but mostly it just makes me sad.

A decent read, but incomplete, flat character development sinks it. 3/5 DISCLAIMER: I received a free galley of this book on NetGalley. However, I was under no requirement to read or review this book, nor am I affiliated in any way with the author or publisher. Let's begin with this from the book's description: “Immediate guarantee: You will not be able to put this book down. . . . Fans of  Gone Girl  and  The Girl on the Train  will realize that there’s not only more where that came from, but it’s also more thrilling.” —American Booksellers Association
