But Kitty looked down, pawed around on the ground, Then meowed to the horse who was starting to frown. “I’d love to help you,” said Kitty, “you see, There’s just one question: what’s in it for me? Sure, you need help with your problem today, But what’s it to me? Why not scamper away?” “Sure thing, little kitty,” grumbled the horse. “If it’s carrots you like, I’ll share mine, of course!” “It’s not carrots I need,” said Kitty with laughter, The horse dropped his head and asked, “What are you after?”

About the Book
Have you ever felt that what you want is just out of reach? Have those around you seemed only interested in themselves? Such are the problems faced by the unlikely hero of this book. The hero: a hungry horse. His problem: a magnificent carrot hanging from a stick -- but just out of his reach. He knows how to get it, but he will require help from a selfish lot of bystanders, each motivated by their own wants. How will he get that carrot? And what will be the reaction of those whose help he needs? Glen Moller and Marvin Paracuelles have created a funny and lyrical book, with beautiful illustrations. Enjoy!
About the Author
Glen Moller is currently stabling on Long Island, New York with one wife, two sons, one daughter, two dogs, one cat, and too much action. He doesn't especially love carrots nor does he own a horse, but he does identify deeply with horses (or anyone else) who are taunted by carrots (or anything else). This is his first picture book, though not his first lesson on multi-party economic negotiations.
