Babu's Healthy Hoppy Bunny Tale

Robyn M. Cohen, Illustrated by Deb Davis

Babu the Bunny had a very bad habit, a very bad habit indeed. You see, Babu was a rabbit who did not like raw carrots, and this caused his parents a lot of grief. Every night at dinner his Mom and Dad and brothers and sisters would gobble up raw carrots with glee. But not Babu, no Babu the Bunny did not like raw carrots, so he would just sit there and not eat a bite! This upset his parents greatly because not eating his carrots was affecting Babu’s weight and his sight! “You are not to leave the table until you have cleaned your plate,” Babu’s mother insisted. “Aw Mom, all we eat is raw carrots every day and every night. They are so hard and orange and crunchy and raw... I just don’t like them!” Babu protested. “I’m sorry my sweet Babu, but you are a bunny and raw carrots are good for you!”
