“With pitch perfect illustration by the increasingly talented Peter Brown, this beautifully shaded creation is a great example of how to get the tone of a picture book exactly right. This age-appropriate horror story takes children’s fears seriously and then offers them an escape through genuine comic relief.”- School Library Journal “Brown’s panels–bordered in black, drawn in pencil, and digitally composed and colored–cleverly combine the mood of film noir with the low-tech look of early children’s television staging for an aesthetic that is atmospheric, but not overwhelming … Panels in varying sizes and multiple perspectives keep pace with Reynolds’s tongue-in-cheek narrative. “A spot-on parody of a paranoid thriller …”- Publishers Weekly, starred review “Serve this superbly designed title to all who relish slightly scary stories.”- Kirkus Reviews, starred review Until the day the carrots start following him…or are they? Jasper Rabbit loves carrots-especially Crackenhopper Field carrots. The Twilight Zone comes to the carrot patch in this clever picture book parable about a rabbit who fears his favorite treats are out to get him.
