A tonsil-removal tale with a creepy twist

Jasper Rabbit returns as a collector of cautionary tales, introducing Charlie Marmot and a problem that starts with infected tonsils scheduled for removal. Charlie’s wish to keep them in a jar for show-and-tell leads to strange sounds and an unsettling surprise at the doctor’s office. The setup turns an everyday medical procedure into a comic-creepy mystery, with Jasper’s storytelling frame connecting this chapter book to the Creepy Carrots! world. The story’s mix of chills and chuckles is built around Charlie’s decision and the consequences that follow; the publisher describes it as the first book in a spin-off chapter book series.

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller!

"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!
