Who Put The Carrots in the Cookie Jar?

Bunny's final homework question should be easy: Who put the carrots in the cookie jar? Bunny knows the answer! But when it's time to write it down, nothing goes right. The pens are out of ink. The markers are dry. Even the white chalk disappears on the white paper.

How will Bunny finish the homework and get outside to play when there's nothing left to write with?
