It is a cute book about importance of teamwork. It is based on Russian folktale called " The Turnip". In this story, bunnies Daisy and Floyd are trying to harvest a huge carrot that grew in their garden. Without much success, they seek help from their friends and neighbors. But even after five more animals join in, the carrot will not leave the ground. Until a tiny mouse Lester offers to help. Others think he is too little; however, Lester's extra help does the trick and the enormous carrot finally gets pulled out! The illustrations to this book are bright and engaging, leaving a long-last memory of importance of helping others and importance of every member in a team effort.… (more)

Peter's grandfather specifically warns him not to leave the yard and not to leave the gate open because there is a wolf prowling around the area. He disobeys to save a few animal friends and captures the wolf.

The book would be an interesting addition to a discussion about obedience.
