K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Diane deGroat.
Basset hound Charlie tries to outsmart a determined carrot-loving rabbit in this book for beginning readers. After a chase and a couple of naps, Charlie strikes a deal and gains a new friend. As usual, Charlie's low-key, low-energy approach to life provides the story fodder, but his quirky narration may frustrate new readers. DeGroat's friendly illustrations give those readers an able assist.
