Summary: The carrots that grow in Crackenhopper Field are the fattest and crispiest around and Jasper Rabbit cannot resist pulling some to eat each time he passes by, until he begins hearing and seeing creepy carrots wherever he goes.

Review: Jasper is a hungry rabbit that absolutely loves the taste of the Crackenhopper Field carrots.  However, one day he believes that they are following him and are always watching him but nobody believes him.  Will Jasper ever be able to leave his house without looking over his shoulder? 

This is a fun but spooky tale perfect for the Halloween season and great for a beginning scary story for kids because it isn’t too scary.  The black and white illustrations really set the scene for the story and the orange carrots really accent the illustrations.  Overall this is a wonderful story for kids and parents of all ages.
