Here in
Connecticut, the leaves are starting to change color and the air is getting a
bit chillier. Halloween decorations have
started to adorn houses and stores- helping us all get into the fall spirit. Last
year my little sister, Margo, was drawn to Creepy Carrots by
Aaron Reynolds. So I knew as soon as I saw Creepy
Pair of Underwear by the same author that it would be the perfect read for
this time of year. I have to admit- I was curious about how underwear was going
to turn out to be creepy.
Jasper Rabbit returns again in this sequel and he seems to be over his fear of
carrots after the plan he devised to get rid of them in the first book. The
story begins when Jasper convinces his mom that he wants a pair of creepy
underwear he sees on display at the store. Once at home he realizes that maybe
his underwear is a little creepier than he had first thought, and he decides to
get rid of them. Of course, he isn’t scared or anything. Jasper’s just done
with creepy underwear. But, when the underwear keeps showing up, he knows he
must take drastic measures. What should he do?
Is there really something to be scared about? You’ll
be turning the pages to find out!
Margo
and I loved that the story is a little creepy, but also very silly. I mean,
being scared of underwear? Hilarious! The faces on the underwear and the
expressions on Jasper’s face had us cracking up. Definitely a great addition to
our favorite Halloween and fall reads. Since it isn’t technically a Halloween
story- it can be enjoyed by kids and adults throughout the year.
I knew
Margo would want her own pair of creepy underwear, and we are on the hunt for
some. But, for now she is happy with the Halloween shirts my mom got her. She
keeps pointing at her shirt and saying “creepy” and cracking up. So, maybe it’s
a good thing we haven’t found those spooky underwear yet.
Has
anyone else read Creepy Pair of Underwear?
Or have you read another book by Aaron Reynolds? We’d love to hear your
thoughts!
Happy reading!
