Aaron Reynolds on The Jasper Rabbit Universe
Creepy Carrots!, Creepy Pair of Underwear!, and Creepy Crayon! written by Aaron Reynolds and illustrated by Peter Brown, continue to be the most popular picture books in my K-3rd grade school library. In the latest episode of The Yarn podcast, we get the behind-the-scenes story of how they were made.
In this episode, I chat with Aaron Reynolds about all of the Jasper Rabbit books, including the new chapter book series. Aaron explains the inspiration for the books, the difficulty in getting Creepy Carrots! published, and how the Jasper world has expanded.
