The Orange Forest Rabbit is a business rabbit, and he sells the carrots he grows around the Orange Forest, and they are the best carrots out there! One night, Rabbit is woken up by something and so he goes to the window to see what it is, and this is where he sees the blue fireball flying through the sky and breaking apart to crash into one of his fields!

The next day, he goes about his routine, but on the way to his warehouse, he stops by the field and his faithful puppy Robes Pierre notices something strange, but he has no time to investigate and just calls his puppy silly, and instead heads on out to open his store for business, however, all his employees, customers and carrots have disappeared! On top of all this, he sees an unwelcome customer, a spy for their competitor, Lucky Dog Carrots and they are trying to steal his secret recipes!

Will the Orange Forest Rabbit be able to solve the mystery surrounding the blue fireball and his carrots, all while stopping the spy and keeping his mischievous family in check? This is a cozy mystery which will keep you entertained throughout as you follow along the fun with this carrot powered rabbit family and the carroty adventures.

Orange Forest Rabbit Mysteries contains three stories in one book.
The Mystery of the Missing Meteor Field Carrots, An Orange Forest Rabbit tale
The Mystery of the Haunted Amusement Park
Mystery of the Airwhale Art
I would say the book is aimed for ages 7-12 years old. The stories are a great combination of mystery, sci fi and fantasy. I would say they are a great introduction to this genre. As always Lois writing is incredible and really pulls you in.

My household loves it when I bring another book home by this author, and this was no exception! We have read so many of their picture books for younger readers, but the chapter books such as these have been so amazing. My kiddos are 8 and 12 years old so they are the perfect target audience for this wonderful book. Even though I am far past the target age range, I definitely enjoyed reading this as well. There are three short mysteries inside this book and they were all great adventures. The author does an amazing job setting the scene and developing characters and plot well enough for an intriguing story, but still at the proper level for kiddos. I highly recommend picking this up and sharing with the younger ones in your life. You will find yourself enjoying it just as much!

Gregory, his wife Jennifer, and their dog Tobes Pierre are faced with 3 intriguing mysteries. In this book each mystery is its own chapter and Gregory must use his smarts to solve each one. Older kids (upper elementary and middle) will enjoy using their own skills to try and solve each chapter alongside Gregory the Orange Forest Rabbit and his team. The chapters are engaging and easy to read. This is a good book for older readers!

I have to start off by saying my kids really enjoyed this book, they were right into each story and mystery trying to solve it before the end of the story. This children’s book is for kids 5 and up. This is a chapter book with three mysteries to solve in this book, first the mystery of the missing meteor fields, all a meteor that hits a carrot field and what happens. The mystery of the haunted amusement park, what is happening at carrot world. The clue in the airwhale art, a carrot ship that has a mystery of its own watching. These books also had little life lessons into the stories that weave into each story together perfectly. Each story was very well written that you could almost see what is happening in the story. Very easy to understand and read.

Orange forest rabbit is 3 short Mysteries chapter books in one purchase. Which was perfect for us. My oldest little one used these stories to practice reading chapter books, and read it to the younger one. They enjoyed the adventure these stories gave during their reading time. They looked forward to reading every night to see how one adventure would end. We can’t wait to see what other adventures the rabbit Gregory goes on. As always I look forward to reading more books by Lois Wickstrom Ps lol the Littles loved the word sassafras. They thought it was a fun word.

This is a whimsical story of three mysteries. Lois Wickstrom never fails to write a story that captures the attention of her readers. Whether with a little kids story, or a story for older kids, they are always fun to read. Even “kids at heart” will likely enjoy this book. It has mystery and adventure. It is broken down into three parts which will make it easier for reluctant readers or readers who struggle. It doesn’t take away from the stories at all. It makes for a quick and entertaining read.

Orange Forest Rabbit by Lois Wickstrom and Lucrecia Darling. Lois Wickstrom is my favorite children’s author so I knew I would love this book but wow it was sooo good. You actually get 3 mysteries in one book. My 11 year old nephew truly enjoyed it as much as I did. It all begins with strange happenings on Jennifer and Gregory’s rabbit farm. There is the Mystery of the Missing Meteor Fields Carrots, The Mystery of the Haunted Amusement Park and The Clue in the Airwhale Art. You and your young one can work thru each of these mysteries and try to solve them yourselves. There is fun, family, teamwork and spies. This book is geared toward ages 9-11 and they are so fun. This would make a great gift for the young one in your life. Such great lessons and pictures!

y children and I (especially my 7 year old) love reading Lois Wickstrom books together and I was really excited to find this chapter book. I liked that it was comprised of three different stories with cute, enjoyable characters. I do wish there was a picture here or there even as a chapter book. I have one young reader and a lover of graphic novels so that would be a fun addition. The kids and I looked forward to reading these little mysteries before bed each evening. Another win from this author!

In this book we follow Gregory, his wife Jennifer and their puppy Robes Pierre on 3 mystery adventures. This chapter book is a good YA book for older grade school children and even middle schoolers. The adventures that happen are well written and detailed that you can use your imagination to make the story come “alive” in your mind. Each of the mysteries are well thought out and detailed to further the storyline from the first mystery. Even though there is no pictures in this book, it’s definitely one that can read to little ones or even helping out reading skills.

I am a huge fan of Lois Wickstrom, as most probably already know if you’ve read any of my recent reviews. This book is a collection of 3 stories featuring the Orange Forest Rabbit and his dog, Robes Pierre. There is adventure, some sci-fi characteristics, fantasy and mystery spread over these three stories. This book is geared more towards older readers (ages 7-12) but younger ones would appreciate the stories being read to them. The first story is my favorite of them all!

I love how there are moral values integrated into the story. Don’t just follow the crowd, do the right thing. Each one of the stories flows well and is easy to understand.

This is a fantastic chapter book for your mid to upper elementary kiddos. I really love how Wickstrom creates a whimsical world filled with mystery that kept me turning the pages! My youngest (8F) and I took turns reading this to each other and we couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen! We were definitely kept on our toes with these mysteries! I really liked the fact that we got 3 short stories in this book and that, as always, Wickstrom is able to weave learning and life lessons together seamlessly.

As a family, we picked up this book expecting to be entertained and, as usual, the author did not disappoint! For us, this book was definitely all about the characters. They were so vivid and full of life, they pulled us into the story with ease.
Their adventure was fun to read about. Both my kids found it funny that the carrots had gone missing and enjoyed watching as the Orange Forest Rabbit tried to solve his problem. This was a great story and another hit from this author.

**A Delightful Whimsical Mystery**

“The Carrots are Missing! The Customers are Missing, too!” by Lois June Wickstrom and Lucrecia Darling is a charming and entertaining mystery that will delight readers of all ages.

The story begins with a bang – literally – as a blue fireball crashes into the Orange Forest Rabbit’s beloved carrot field, setting off a chain reaction of events that will keep readers engaged until the very end. The protagonist, Orange Forest Rabbit, is a lovable and resourceful character who is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding his missing carrots and customers.

The book does an excellent job of creating a whimsical world that is full of colorful characters, from the mischievous family members to the enigmatic spy from Lucky Dog Carrots. The writing is engaging, with a perfect balance of humor, suspense, and adventure. The plot is cleverly woven, with twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the very end.

One of the standout features of this book is its ability to appeal to readers of all ages. The themes of entrepreneurship, family, and community are woven throughout the story, making it relatable and accessible to children. At the same time, the humor and wit will appeal to adults, making it a great read-aloud option for families.

The characters are well-developed and memorable, with Robes Pierre, the loyal puppy, being a particular standout. His keen sense of smell and loyalty to Orange Forest Rabbit make him a valuable ally in solving the mystery.

The only area for improvement is the pacing, which can be a bit slow in some sections. However, this is easily forgiven given the book’s overall charm and entertainment value.

Want to learn about how to weather a hurricane? Oscar & Emmy live through one and tell us what it’s like. Also there’s information at the back of the book on actual hurricanes and then how to get through them. There’s also a pet disaster kit list at the back which I found interesting and useful. I think people will like this one, especially young children who are starting to read.
