Jasper Rabbit loved crunching on carrots that grew from the Crackenhopper Field. Jasper would eat the carrots any chance he would get. However, the carrots did not enjoy being a crunchy snack for Jasper. The carrots planned a creepy carrot agenda to scare Jasper into not eating the carrots anymore. The creepy carrots' plan worked. Jasper built a huge fence to stay far away from the creepy carrots.
As an educator, this book is really cute and relevant to young readers. Children can be scared and create these make-shift realities. This book can also be used to help overcome fears that children create.I would use this book during a Halloween or Fall lesson plan. After read-aloud, students can have the option to read the book independently.
