If You Give a Deer a Carrot Kindle Edition

Feeding the deer leads to lunacy -- but it only gets worse when you stop!

A girl feeds a deer on her front lawn. The next day there are two deer...a family...a herd. A stag crashes through her window. A herd chases her car. Her parents are upset. Her sister is insanely jealous. But if she stops handing out carrots, what kind of mischief will those deer get into next?

Written in rhyming quatrains, with ebullient, absurd illustrations, If You Give a Deer a Carrot will make your kids spit out their milk laughing.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Paul Pineapple is the author of like a zillion books for children (well, five so far). He plays ridiculous songs on the piano (pretty well), banjo (badly), and ukulele (don’t ask -- well, okay).

Paul grew up in a town he called “Oak Pork,” Illinois, but the winters were too cold. He lives today in Austin, Texas, where the summers are too hot. How’s the weather at your school? He would love to visit.

Don't believe his name is Paul Pineapple? Visit paulpineapple.com, join his reader group, and try to figure it out.

I ordered this book as an extension of my Laura Numeroff unit in my Pre-K classroom. It was an immediate hit! The book flows well and lends itself for predictions and creative thinking. It encouraged my young students to think outside the box and create their own "If I Give a ..." stories! Best of all, it's fun and a great read!

1.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT a book for kids!!
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2021

I ordered this book despite the mixed reviews, but now I feel a need to review it, too, since I didn't believe that it could be as bad as people said it was. But it's worse! This book was so bad that it was the only book I've ever returned. It's not written for kids, even though Amazon has put it in that category. I would NEVER read this book to my students, primarily because the illustrations make the angry and scary words even worse, and I'm sure it would be somewhat traumatic for them. I gave this book 1 star because I couldn't give it 0 stars, and I will never purchase any books by this author again.

This book is in the tradition of, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. The storyline is Superbly Funny. The illustrations are fun. I highly recommend this great book for all who like to laugh.
If you give after a deer a carrot, later she will bring a friend. If you feed her friend a carrot what will she do? What would you do? Would you feed that first deer? What happens later? I don't want to spoil it but the neighbors get involved. You get the please of read/listening to find out how!! Exciting

I like the colorful images and basically, I actually liked the story. I think it was missing something, though. The rhyme didn't seem to match all the way through and I think it could have been more interesting.

This outrageous kids' book is enjoyable at any age. Reminiscent of the audacity of Maurice Sendak, it boldly depicts kids and adults in the raw. Forget the gentle, conflict-avoiding kind of kid story. I can't wait to find out how my grandson will react!
