Creepy Crayon! (Jasper Rabbit's Creepy Tales!)

Hey, I want to know if you and I can agree on something. Because it can't just be me. But hands down, the best week of the entire school year all through elementary was when they had the Scholastic Book Fair, right? Those classic books that defined our childhood. Was it Goosebumps? Where the Wild Things Are? Choose Your Own Adventure? Well, this book captures the spirit of that wonderful week. Our Little Girl first fell in loves with Creepy Carrots. The first of the three books in the "Creepy Tales" series. Then, it was Creepy Pair of Underwear. So when Creepy Crayon was published in the Fall of 2022, there was no doubt in our mind. My Wife and I both knew we absolutely needed to order for our Daughter. And she loves it. Look, there's no reason for you to not buy this book today. I have yet to hear about any kid not liking this book. Know what's kinda weird? The only 1-star reviews for this book don't even have to do with what the kids who got the book thought about it. They were negative reviews from adults who didn't "get" the book, as far as understanding what makes it interesting. It would be like ordering a skateboard for your child or grandchild, the kid loves it, but you leave a one-star review for it. Because you "just don't get" what's so interesting about skateboarding. As grown-ups, we're simply not the target audience for this book (even if we happen to enjoy it just like our child does). So I do think it's a little unfair to give this book a negative review, just because you don't find it interesting, or assume that maybe a three year old would be afraid of the story. So I say ignore the handful of negative reviews, which weren't even about what the kids thought. The positive reviews speak for themselves. Order the book. When you get done reading this review, add it to your shopping cart. Check out. It will show up at your door (or wherever you have it shipped) in about a week or less. It's only fifteen bucks. That's it. Two people can spend that much in a fast food drive-through. It's the price of just three frozen coffees. My point is this: we all might spend $15 on something that we only get to enjoy one time (food in particular). So why not take $15, and put it towards something your child or grandchild can actually enjoy for years? Maybe even pass it along to their own children. It's also a big plus that the time they spend reading, or being read to, means a little less "screen time" in their life. They get to unplug from their video games, the TV, the tablet, the Nintendo Switch, whatever. And just use their imagination while they read, or have it read to them. And if you're gifting someone else's child or grandchild, you can't beat a good book. Nothing wrong with buying a child a toy. But gifting a book tells the parents something. That you were thoughtful enough to find their child something both entertaining and educational. Instead of just roaming the toy aisle at Walmart, picking something out that maybe they'll like, maybe they'll forget about after one day. I think a book as a gift says a lot about the person gifting it. So buy the book today. The holidays are right around the corner. Don't run the risk of putting it off, only to find that the book is sold out online and in stores. Order it now, so you at least have that one gift ready and waiting for the holidays. As parents who care about our child's imagination and literacy, my Wife and I both are really happy we ordered this book for our Little Girl.

My daughter has enjoyed this storybook

Love, love, love these books. Great writing, great illustrations.

This was super cute! I had never read the story before, and we used this as a book for one of our lessons. The kids loved it!

I help out at my kid's school library and this book is always checked out and so popular! I bought it for my daughter's classroom since they all wait to check it out. These are kindergarteners

My 6 year old read this book in his classroom and was obsessed with it. We bought this for him and he was very engaged in the story and laughed a lot. We now have the series and he enjoys rereading all of the books. The pictures are nicely done and flow well with the story.

Great story. High quality pages and printing. We love this series! This book is easy for an 8 year old to read but may be challenging for younger readers to read alone.

Absolutely love it as an adult and my daughter loves it even more hard cover book a bit scary a bit funny not too intense just right for my 4 yr old definitely recommend

Creepy Crayon, Creepy Carrots, and Creepy pair of underwear are probably the BEST books my son has in his book collection. My son name is Jasper, and he adored these books and always reached out for this book. Creepy Crayon is fun and silly. I love the darkness with the pop of Color to make the storylines interesting and creepy. If you are going to get this book, make sure you get all, because each book connected. Perfect books for age of 3-5 year olds. I hope this author continues to grow Jasper the Rabbit series!

Cute book! My kids love it!

Mons fils adore les livres de cette collection, alors celui-ci est aussi super sympa

A los alumnos les encanta leer. Me lo han pedido y lo compre para el salón de clases.

What a great book! Or it would have been if it had actually arrived.
