Description
Book Introduction
『Creepy Carrot!』 is a story about a rabbit that loves carrots too much and a scary(?) carrot that causes a commotion. It was first introduced in Korea in August 2013 and will celebrate its 10th anniversary of domestic publication in 2023.
As if to prove the great love of readers, the sequels 『Creepy Panties!』 and 『Creepy Crayon!』 were published and are enjoying explosive popularity both overseas and domestically.
The first book in the [Creepy Carrots] series, which garnered attention for the perfect chemistry between Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown, was immediately a New York Times bestseller and number one in the Amazon picture book category upon publication, and was honored with the great title of being the winner of the 2013 Caldecott Honor Award.
Not only overseas but also domestically, it received rave reviews from parents and educators who prefer excellent picture books with proven artistry, and it gained even more attention as word-of-mouth spread and enthusiastic reviews from picture book experts and readers who read the work.
What's the secret to "Creepy Carrot!"'s long-standing popularity? Above all, it's the writing and illustrations that perfectly blend humor and comedy with the horror genre, a genre children love.
The process of rabbit Jasper confronting the creepy carrot is both creepy and comical, and the final twist is both hilarious and imaginative.
The witty and ingenious imagination of writer Aaron Reynolds shines even brighter when paired with illustrator Peter Brown.
Peter Brown, inspired by classic thriller films, used black and white tones and only orange colors within a black frame reminiscent of television, creating an effect reminiscent of horror films or Halloween.
The cartoon-like directing that freely utilizes frames to capture vivid expressions and actions of rabbit and carrot characters also stands out.
The scenes are so outstanding that they deserve more than just praise as a perfect picture, and they exude a charm that you won't tire of watching them over and over again.
If you're a first-time reader of "Creepy Carrot!", you might find yourself immediately recommending Jasper the Rabbit's spine-chilling tales to a close friend.

_School Library Journal
Jasper the rabbit, who shows boundless affection for the object of his affection, and the creepy carrots who suffer because of Jasper, provide endless fun by going back and forth between comedy and horror in the fast-paced plot.
A masterpiece picture book that exquisitely parodies classic thriller films.
Illustrator Peter Brown says he was inspired by a variety of classic thriller films and television shows before creating "Creepy Carrots!", including [The Twilight Zone (CBS Television)], [Creature from the Black Lagoon (Universal Pictures)], [The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox)], [Dracula (Universal Pictures)], [Footlight Parade (Warner Bros)], [Gold Diggers of 1933 (Warner Bros)], and [42nd Street (Warner Bros)].
『Creepy Carrot!』 brings out the feeling of horror by coloring only in orange on black and white tones within a black frame reminiscent of a television (which is also a color reminiscent of Halloween!), and the cartoon-like direction that freely varies the frame creates a unique picture book.
The characters' vivid expressions, which convey an eerie atmosphere and tension, are also must-see points! To create the current main characters, the rabbit and carrot, Peter Brown repeatedly erased and drew countless drawings. From pencil sketches to computer work for final detail adjustments, he repeatedly created illustrations that maximized the atmosphere of the text.
In recognition of Peter Brown's passion, hard work, and outstanding work, the American Library Society (ALSC) responded with the 2013 Caldecott Honor Award!
Creepy, creepy fun followed by a delightful twist
Enjoy 3D reading with diverse perspectives and new imaginations.
It's a wonderful picture book that has all the elements that children love.
Try to empathize with each character's position and find your own way to solve the problem.
You can fully experience the joy of reading.
Furthermore, children tell their own stories.
I recommend this book even more because it's something you can decorate. _Choi Yu-ra (elementary school teacher)
One of the highlights of "Creepy Carrot!" lies in its delightful twist! As the story draws to a close, the ingenuity of Jasper the rabbit, who proactively takes action to solve the problem, brings an unexpected, comical, and perhaps even exhilarating, twist to the finale.
This final scene makes readers empathize with each character, sparking new perspectives and imaginations for each reader.
Also, you can think together about the same problems as the characters in the work, such as, "What if I were a rabbit?" or "What would I do if I were a carrot?"
Because it allows for three-dimensional reading activities from various perspectives within a single work, 『Creepy Carrot!』 is a picture book that is welcomed in kindergartens and elementary schools.
