Bookroo's summary

Jasper Rabbit can't get enough of Crackenhopper Field carrots, munching them at every chance. But when he starts feeling watched, his beloved treats seem to have a mind of their own. Are the carrots really following him, or is it just his imagination? Dive into this whimsical tale where greed turns a rabbit's world upside down, leaving readers to wonder: can you ever have too much of a good thing?
