Description | 简介
大雪纷飞的冬天，小兔子找到两个萝卜，吃掉一个后，想到好朋友小驴可能还在挨饿，便把另一个送到小驴家。小驴又想到了小羊，小羊想到了小鹿……一根萝卜就这样在朋友之间传来传去，最后竟然回到了小兔子家！一个温暖的冬日故事，讲述善意如何在朋友之间悄悄传递。
On a snowy winter day, a little rabbit finds two carrots. After eating one, he worries that his friend Donkey might be hungry and leaves the other at Donkey's home. But Donkey thinks of Sheep, Sheep thinks of Deer, and the carrot continues its journey from friend to friend—until it unexpectedly returns to Rabbit! A heartwarming classic about friendship, generosity, and the kindness that comes full circle.

First created in the 1950s, this enduring Chinese picture-book classic celebrates generosity, friendship, and the joy of caring for others. Through a beautifully simple circular narrative, author Yiqun Fang follows a carrot as it passes among animal friends, each thinking of someone else's needs before their own. The gentle repetition invites young readers to predict what happens next, retell the story, and recognize how kindness connects a community. Gefan Yan's delicate, traditional illustrations offer a glimpse into the artistic heritage of early Chinese picture books. Beyond its universal message of compassion, the book holds historical significance as an early Chinese children's story that reached international readers.
Reading & Activity Ideas
Pass the Carrot: Use a toy carrot in a circle-time activity, inviting children to pass it along while naming someone they would like to help. Story Sequencing: Arrange animal picture cards in the order the carrot travels, then retell the story together. Kindness Circle: Ask, “Why did each animal give away the carrot?” and “How can we help a friend who needs something?” Winter Animal Homes: Explore how different animals find food and shelter during winter, distinguishing real animal behavior from the fictional story. Puppet Theater: Use rabbit, donkey, sheep, and deer puppets to reenact the carrot's journey. Creative Extension: Invite children to draw a new animal friend and imagine where the carrot might travel next.
