About This Book
This picture book, part of the "Jasper Rabbit's Creepy Tales" series, introduces young Jasper Rabbit, who is initially thrilled with his new glow-in-the-dark underwear featuring Frankenstein designs. However, as night falls, the underwear takes on a life of its own, becoming "creepy" and unsettling for Jasper. The story follows his humorous and increasingly frantic efforts to dispose of the underwear, only for it to mysteriously reappear. Illustrated with Peter Brown's distinctive noir-style black and white art with pops of green, the book masterfully balances silliness and a gentle spookiness, making it ideal for children aged 3-7 who are exploring feelings of fear in a safe, lighthearted context. It's a wonderful read-aloud that normalizes mild anxieties in a fun way.
