In this Caldecott Honor–winning picture book, The Twilight Zone comes to the carrot patch as a rabbit fears his favourite treats are out to get him.

Jasper Rabbit loves carrots—especially Crackenhopper Field carrots. He eats them on the way to school. He eats them going to Little League. He eats them walking home. Until the day the carrots start following him... or are they?

Celebrated artist Peter Brown’s stylish illustrations pair perfectly with Aaron Reynolds’ text in this hilarious picture book that shows it's all fun and games… until you get too greedy.
