      Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds is an adorably illustrated book about Jasper Rabbit who loves to steal carrots from Crackenhopper Field. He eats them every time he goes by them- on they way to school, on the way to little league practice, and on the way home at night. One night, he hears movement in the field, but there was nothing there. That night, he imagines that the carrots are following him. He keeps seeing them- EVERYWHERE. They haunt him with their terrible, carroty breathing and their creepy carrot shadows. Jasper can’t get anyone else to believe him about the creepy carrots, so he comes up with a plan to stop them from following him. The reveal at the end of the book is fantastic! This is a great book for young readers to allow them to experience a tiny bit of fear, but also for them to feel safe. Carrots are pretty innocuous, right? Or are they…

      Jasper Rabbit loves chowing down on the carrots in Crackenhopper Field. They were free so he would constantly eat them. Then one day he goes to get a carrot and thinks he hears something. He sees and hears carrots in the shed, his bedroom and the bathroom. He gets so freaked out he decides to build a fence to keep them in and keep anyone from eating them. This is exactly how the carrots planned it to end. Loved this book.

      Good storytime read for older kids (4-5s). The younger ones didn't totally get it.
    • 5/5
      The colors on the cover drew me in too and I wanted to know how carrots could be creepy.

      Jasper Rabbit loves carrots, and he can’t resist them. Every time he walks by Crackenhopper Field he must crunch a few tasty treats. But then he starts to worry that his favorite food is following him. Can the carrots be after him? Jasper thinks so, and he knows he has to do something to protect himself!

      The story is the perfect blend of a little spooky and a little funny. I cracked up at the end and loved the faces on the carrots. Creepy Carrots is a wonderful book to read near Halloween because of the colors in the illustrations- but the book can be read any time of year, because it doesn’t actually tie into the holiday.

      Jasper Rabbit loves grabbing a carrot (or two or three or...) every time he passes by the patch on his way to and fro school and other places. But when he starts seeing creepy carrots appear throughout his home, he is terrified!

      This humorous picture book is great. I've read it with many children of different ages ranging from 3 to 10, and it delights all of them; the children always end up clamoring to hear it again. It's a fun one to read aloud because you can do a cheesy horror voice for the creepy carrots.

      No worries for the easily scared -- all's well that ends well in this book.

      The character in this book had a patch of carrots. He thought that the carrots in the patch were being creepy, so he started to investigate. He eventually ended up building a fence around the carrot patch, which solved his problem.

      Cute & creepy, perfect for a spooky story time.
      Pair with The Book That Eats People.
    • 5/5
      This is a fun book about Jasper Rabbit and his love of carrots, until the day they started following him! The kids loved guessing about what was really happening and I loved hearing how their theories changed between kindergartners and 5th graders. This is a fun not-so-scary book to read with kids around Halloween, or any time!

      What if your overactive childhood imagination took your most favorite thing and turned them into monsters, following you around every corner?! What if you never had proof?! You'd go out and take care of the problem yourself. That's what Jasper did! Or was the trick on him after all?!

      Jasper Rabbit loves CARROTS. And in the field, there were plenty of carrots for the taking.

      Until one day, the carrots started to follow Jasper Rabbit. Jasper began to see carrots everywhere...and he was frightened! Jasper hatches a plan to free himself from these CREEPY CARROTS! He builds a fence so they will never get out...but it seems that carrots had a plan too...
    • 4/5
      The carrots that grow in a field called Crackenhopper field are the fattest, crispiest carrots around. Jasper Rabbit cannot resist pulling some rabbits out of the ground as he walks past them. He begins hearing and seeing creepy carrots wherever he goes, so he devises a plan to try to get rid of them. This book is categorized as fantasy because the rabbits in the story talk and the carrots move around, but the idea of being scared of the dark and monsters being being in a child's room is a real fear for kids. Alos, the theme of taking something that isn't yours to take is present throughout the book. Genre: Fantasy Age Appropriateness: Intermediate

      Jasper Rabbit loved carrots, especially those growing in Crackenhopper Field. But when they followed him home one evening, Jasper suddenly began to see Creepy Carrots everywhere. Despite his parents' assurances that there were no sinister root vegetables lurking in the vicinity, Jasper knew that they were out there, and he decided to take measures to protect himself. Little did he suspect the role he was playing in his vegetable foes' plan...

      Awarded a Caldecott Honor in 2013, Creepy Carrots is an amusing tale, one sure to please young children who want stories that are a little bit scary and quite a bit funny. I enjoyed the surprise ending, in which it is revealed that the carrots are deliberately frightening Jasper, in order to get him to stop eating them, but I do wonder a bit at the wisdom of convincing children that it's a bad idea to eat their vegetables. Don't we already have enough of a problem with that? Leaving that qualm aside, this was an entertaining tale, one made all the better by Peter Brown's spooky pencil illustrations, which capture both the frights and the fun of the story. Recommended to anyone looking for lighter Halloween fare for younger children.

      Thought this a very clever funny book. The carrots showed amazing ingenuity and Jasper's great building skills were also pretty great. I thought the illustrations were a huge part of how smart the book was. The common every day objects were great and I liked that those and the carrots were the only orange items in the books.

      Jasper Rabbit is being stalked by the very carrots he loves to eat! His parents can find no evidence that he is being stalked, so Jasper takes matters into his own hands. This is a very cute book with great illustrations that add to the suspense.

      Creepy Carrots is a modern fantasy book about Jasper Rabbit. This book is modern fantasy because carrots and bunnies can not talk or walk or do what people do. Jasper Rabbit loves eating carrots. He always wants more and more and each day he goes back to the same field to get another. One day, the carrots came up with a plan, and they began to follow Jasper Rabbit around at night. Jasper gets scared of the carrots and whenever he sees the carrots he tries to show someone that they are following him, but the carrots hide and no one believes that Jasper is seeing carrots. Eventually, Jasper gets tired of being afriad of the carrots, so he decides to build a big wall around the carrot field. After he builds the fence the carrots are excited and throw a party because their plan to keep Jasper from eating them was successful.

      This book has a good beginning, middle and end for young readers to see the difference between the three. Also, this is a good mentor text for teachers to use when teaching students how to write beginning, middle and end stories.
    • 5/5
      This book is full of humor, suspense, and fantastic design. In the classroom, it would be a great tool to ask children what they think is really going on in the story or to make predictions, as whether the carrots are truly creeping or not is unclear until the end.

      Creepy Carrots! by Aaron Reynolds is a mashup between Peter Rabbit and your typical zombie story. Japser Rabbit loves the carrots that grow in the Crackenhopper fields. But there's a rumor that they are evil, monster carrots.

      Like Nancy Raines Day's On a Windy Day, there's a monstrous version of the creeping carrots and then there's a reveal of which ordinary objects went to create the illusion of the carrots.

      The monster pages are done in a comic book, horror style heavy on the orange and black Ñ perfect for a Halloween read. The reveal pages are contrasted with their wider range of colors and almost pastel hues.

      But as every horror story should, there's a twist at the end. Maybe, just maybe, there's some truth to Jasper's over-active imagination.

      This book is pretty cool. Based around the old T.V. series The Twilight Zone, much of the book is in black and white except for the carrots that attempt to scare the young rabbit. The black and white of the illustrations clearly gives a creepy feel to the book as a whole. It also allows the orange objects and orange carrots to stand out from the rest of the background. This book is more of a humorous one as opposed to a story that has a main message. Throughout the book, the reader is unsure if the carrots are trying to scare him or if it is just his overactive imagination. To keep the carrots away from him, he builds a fence with a moat around the cabbage patch. this is what the carrots wanted all along. This way the rabbit would never be able to come and eat them again. Despite being without a message, it is a fun book that is wonderful for the Halloween season.

      “Creepy Carrots!” by Aaron Reynolds and illustrated by Peter Brown is one of the best picture books I have read in a long time! I loved the way the illustrations enhanced the text: the black borders, the shadows, and way only the carrots were drawn in color. All of these details and more added to the creepy tone of the story. The carrots were made to look frightening, but in a really cute way. I also loved the twist at the end, when the carrots celebrate being protected from Jasper. This was a great addition to the plot, and is one of the main reasons I love this story so much. The only message I could take from this book, aside from it being entertaining, is that things are not always as they seem; at first, the reader is led to believe that the carrots are the bad guys and that Jasper is the victim, but then all of that changes once the readers realizes that the carrots are only trying to protect themselves from being eaten!

      I really liked this book and really enjoyed reading it. The story was really funny and original. It was about a rabbit who thinks creepy carrots are following him. The illustrations in the book are black and white but the carrots and orange objects are in orange. When Jasper thinks he sees the creepy carrots, they turn into ordinary orange objects. I really was engaged while reading this book and the plot was organized. The language is descriptive and had me wanting to keep turning the page. The illustrations enhanced and supported the story. The big idea of this book was humor, imagination, and creativity.
    • 5/5
      This story is by far one of my favorite children’s books. The black and white drawings with simple glimpses of color, the use of descriptive sounds and the classic plot combine to create a story like no other. First off, the illustrator does an amazing job of drawing readers in with spooky and shadowed paintings of the menacing carrots. Only a great artist can create carrots that will even scare adults. Then the author describes a repetitive sound that the creepy carrots make, “tunktunktunk” as they follow behind the main character. This sound language creates not only a visual for the readers, but also adds an audible aspect. Then finally the author chose to use a classic plot, very similar to the boy who cried wolf, but then added a completely new and eccentric twist. This helped the story appeal to a number of readers. These three factors combine nicely to convey the author’s main message that you are often haunted by the things you love, especially when you know you are abusing the privilege of having them.

      I absolutely loved this book! I really enjoyed Peter Brown’s illustrations in the story. The pictures were mainly black and white, except for the orange carrots to provide emphasis and a sense of spookiness to go along with the story. The plot was very silly and I loved how the carrots followed Jasper around scaring him so that he would stop eating them. Finally, I really enjoyed the writing in this story. There was a lot of repetition throughout the plot “we looked under the bed, no creepy carrots, we looked in the closet, no creepy carrots”. The repetition built the suspense as I tried to figure out where the carrots were. The main idea of this story is that you should overcome your challenges rather than living in fear.

      . “Creepy Carrots” is a book about a rabbit named Jasper who loves carrots. Jasper likes to pick carrots from Crackenhopper fields and eat them on a daily basis. As the book goes on Jasper starts to realize that the carrots are not like normal carrots, they are creepy carrots. These carrots follow Jasper around, haunting him. Jasper has to figure out a plan to stop the creepy carrots from following him around. This book teaches about problem solving with a spooky and kooky twist to it. I really enjoyed this book for many reasons. One reason that I liked this book was because of the color scheme of the illustrations. The illustrations in this text are drawn with in grey scale, except for the orange carrots and some other miscellaneous items. I felt that this color scheme really added to the tone of the book. Another aspect of this book that I really appreciated was the repetition of the text, “no creepy carrots.” The last aspect of this text that I really loved was how the illustrations showed the movement of Jasper that went along with the text. Jasper is shown in multiple spots on one page to represent his running around his house looking for the creepy carrots.

      Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds is a delightful tale about a rabbit named Jasper who loves carrots specifically ones from Crackenhopper Field but suddenly he begins to feel these carrots are stalking him. I loved this book! It is such a good book that engages the reader. I loved this book mainly because of the illustrations. The illustrations really helped to move the story along, added to the humor and overall feel of the story. The illustrations were all black and white expect for the “creepy” carrots. This made the carrots that much more creepy and almost made it look like an old scary movie or film. Peter Brown, the illustrator said he even used old scary movies and old horror shows to add to the story. An example of this is seen when Jasper feels the carrots are stalking him when he is brushing his teeth at night. The picture is all black and white and in the background the carrots are the only colorful objects on the page and they are just staring back at Jasper in the mirror. This I feel is a great example of how the illustrations added to the feel of the book. Through this illustration the reader, really can feel how frightened Jasper is. Also, when turning the page and seeing that the reader feels the scare of seeing those carrots in the mirror as well. These illustrations really did a great job of adding life to the book and in my opinion a main reason why it is such a good book. A final thing that I liked about the book was the overall story. The story line and book was so adorable and well thought out. An example of this is seen when Jasper finally decides to ends the stalking and builds a fence around Crackenhopper field. The story really comes full circle when you realize that the carrots were stalking him and they did it so he wouldn’t eat them anymore. I thought this was an adorable story line and one that came with a great message, which is to not steal/touch things that aren’t yours. It also is such a unique story line that I feel it just adds to the story and makes it that much more engaging.
