What Others Are Saying About Have A Carrot
�Absolutely fascinating. Ran for my copies of the �bunny books� and pored over them as I read it. Whether one accepts Freud's version of the world or not, one thing's for sure - no one who reads this book will ever look at Goodnight Moon in the same old way again.�
--- Simone Kaplan, Children�s Book Editor.
�I am very engaged by the robust inquiring eye Pearson brings to the illustrations ... It is a testimonial to the ongoing significance of these books and a reminder that risk is a huge component of literacy, even or perhaps especially in childhood."
--- Margaret Mackey, Professor, School of Library and Information Studies, at the University of Alberta.
�Extremely well written and intelligently argued ... The pictorial art is analyzed in fascinating detail.�
--- J.D. Stahl, Professor, Hollins University Graduate Program in Children's Literature.
�Brilliant on many levels, very well researched!�
--- Anne Marie Turner, MFA, Vermont College.
