CREEPY CARROTS BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

Jasper Rabbit LOVES carrots. He knew where to find a huge field full, and they were free for the taking. Jasper headed to the field several times each day to eat his fill of carrots! But little did he know that the carrots have had enough of Jasper. They decided to follow him, appearing wherever Jasper went. It started to creep Jasper out!

Jasper was seeing the creepy carrots everywhere! He was so freaked out that he made a plan. Jasper headed to the carrot field and built a huge fence around it. This way, no creepy carrots could get out to haunt him. He also made a big moat, complete with alligators, just to be extra sure the creepy carrots would not escape. The carrots were so happy that their plan had worked! Jasper Rabbit would never again head to their carrot patch to bother them.
