“Beautiful to the eye and sure to delight younger horror enthusiasts” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
From the team behind the New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Medal–winning Creepy Carrots! and its sequels comes the first entry in a spin-off chapter book series in which Jasper Rabbit tells the story of a young marmot whose tonsils get the better of him.
Jasper the Rabbit is back! A little older and wiser, he collects creepy stories to share as cautionary tales. If you’re ready for some chills and chuckles alike, tune in as Jasper weaves the yarn of Charlie Marmot and the particular pickle he found himself in.
See, Charlie here has a problem: his tonsils have become infected and have to come out. No biggie, right? But when he decides he wants to keep them in a jar for show and tell, things get creepy… First, strange slurping sounds in his room keep Charlie awake the night before his surgery. Then, he goes to the doctor only to be told his tonsils are already gone! Could it be they’re out for revenge?
Join Jasper and Charlie in this first Creepy Tale chapter book and learn from Charlie’s mistakes before it’s too late!

"Such a fun book! The kids thought it was fun and also a little ""ew"" which is perfect!"
— Sandra G. (5/5)
Twisty and fun!
"A digital ARC of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for my opinions/a review. This is such a great story for fans of AR/PB's previous work (Creepy Carrots, Creepy Pair of Underwear). The character immediately dives into the plot with several unexpected outcomes. The illustrations scattered throughout the plot are excellent for scaffolding transitional readers. The length of this book and the vocabulary in this title are both excellent. I'd definitely purchase this book for my grade 3 class, I'd include it in my Peter Brown author/illustrator study."
