Carrots appear everywhere, breathing their terrible carroty breath, stalking him (“ tunktunktunk“) and generally driving Jasper mad. But when he whips around, the carrots appear to be nothing more than innocent orange bathtub items. Glancing in the mirror, he sees three creepy carrots leering out at him from the bathtub. It begins when Jasper is brushing his teeth. Jasper Rabbit loves to snack on carrots, and munches quite liberally on the ones that grow in Crackenhopper Field. We read Creepy Carrots, written by Aaron Reynolds and illustrated by Peter Brown (Simon & Schuster, 2012). That’s right, you are being stalked by CREEPY CARROTS (or, as my daughter calls them, “cweepy cawwots”)!

They’re coming…sneaking up on you with a soft tunktunktunk…breathing that awful carroty breath. Psst! Did you spot the Creepy Carrot on the underpants? They stalked our story time too! Tape the underpants to the string lights, and let them glow! To make your illuminated underpants, cut underpants shapes from white card stock, then decorate with markers. They were sporting little lanterns (which we removed and used on another project). We found our string lights for $3 in the Dollar Spot section of Target. This avoids complications with that wild, unpredictable thing otherwise known as electricity.
