A note for parents

This is a lighthearted picture book with a mildly spooky premise that teaches about consequences and impulse control through humor rather than genuine fear. Jasper Rabbit's obsessive carrot-stealing leads to funny paranoid hallucinations, but nothing is truly frightening or violent. The story rewards listening to warnings and respecting others' property, making it suitable for preschool and early elementary readers who enjoy silly, slightly eerie stories.

From the publisher

The carrots that grow in Crackenhopper Field are the fattest and crispiest around and Jasper Rabbit cannot resist pulling some to eat each time he passes by, until he begins hearing and seeing creepy carrots wherever he goes.
