About the Book and Soundscape

In this Caldecott Honor-winning picture book, The Twilight Zone comes to the carrot patch as a rabbit fears his favorite treats are out to get him. Jasper Rabbit loves carrots--especially Crackenhopper Field carrots. He eats them on the way to school, Little League, and walking home. Until the day the carrots follow him...or are they? Celebrated artist Peter Brown's stylish illustrations pair perfectly with Aaron Reynold's text in this hilarious picture book. It shows it's all fun and games...until you get too greedy. Kids and grownups fall in love with this soundscape. Kids adore hearing from the creepy carrots, and grownups giggle when they hear the subtle musical nod to horror movie classics.
