Unbelievable! Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown teamed up to create the absolute dream team for Jasper Rabbit’s Creepy Tales. This story puts a Twilight Zone style twist on a young marmot getting his tonsils removed. Not only will children become more familiar and comfortable with the idea of tonsil removal and why it may need to happen, but Reynolds wraps the whole story up with an entirely different lesson at the end about catching wild life in jars. This tale will have kids on the EDGE of their sit, and locked in to all of it’s gory gooey mystery. This is the perfect read aloud for spooky season, and I imagine a wonderful recommendation for reluctant young readers as it has a certain amount of edge to it. It treats its young readers seriously, while also being a total hoot. I will be buying several copies for my public library as it’s sure to fly off the shelves. I’ll personally be recommending it for years to come!

High quality writing and storytelling for children with STUNNINGLY spooky illustrations throughout. I can’t emphasize enough how LOST readers of all ages will be getting in this book, and BEGGING for more if being read aloud to and left on cliff hangers. This is such a great example of how much FUN stories and reading can be to get a struggling child hooked. Similarly, I think the silliness in this story can just as equally be applied to ease nerves around an upcoming surgery. It can add a fun spin to an otherwise unpleasant looming activity.

A good creepy book for elementary kids. At times, it seemed a bit long. Great illustrations!! Would be perfect for a child that enjoys the Creepy Tales series!
