I read this story to my students and they loved it. They found it funny and super creative. Also, they didn't expect the twist ending.
"Jasper Rabbit loves carrots—especially Crackenhopper Field carrots. He eats them on the way to school. He eats them going to Little League. He eats them walking home. Until the day the carrots start following him...or are they?"

A pretty good children's horror book. Cute and funny. With a good setup and ending. But a bit simple. And not what I expect from a Caldecott Honor book.

What a fun, cute book. Little Jasper Rabbit loved eating carrots and then he started seeing them everywhere. Great illustrations.

Jasper Rabbit loves carrots. He eats them on the way to school. He eats them going to Little League. He eats them going home.
Jasper especially loves the free carrots he can grab from Crackenhopper Field any time he wants.
At least he does until those creepy carrots start to follow him around. No one else sees what Jasper sees. But that doesn't mean he's wrong in Creepy Carrots (2012) by Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown.
Reynolds' concise writing keeps up the tension as Jasper gets more and more creeped out by those carrots. Readers will be kept on their toes until the (maybe) surprising ending. Brown's illustrations, done in black and white with shots of orange for the carrots, add an eerie quality to this already spooky story.
A light touch from both author and illustrator guarantee that this story will be fun for readers of all ages without being too scary. A perfect choice to read around Halloween--or anytime you're in the mood for a little scare and a lot of humor.

When asked, my 6-year-old niece proclaimed the Creepy Carrots and Creepy Underwear books to be "creepy AND funny!" She got into the stories and enjoyed reading them with me. These bunny books are pretty cute and quick reads for young kids with short attention spans - even when you're hundreds of miles away and doing bedtime stories by video chat. Would recommend to other aunts, parents, etc.
