From the team behind the New York Times bestselling Creepy Carrots! and Creepy Pair of Underwear! comes the third in this hilariously spooky series about a young rabbit and his peculiar encounters-featuring a sinister crayon! Jasper Rabbit has a problem: he is NOT doing well in school. His spelling tests? Disasters. His math quizzes? Frightening to behold. But one day, he finds a crayon lying in the gutter. Purple. Pointy. Perfect. Somehow. . . it looked happy to see him. And it wants to help. At first, Jasper is excited. Everything is going great. His spelling is fantastic. His math is stupendous. And best of all, he doesn' t have to do ANY work! But then the crayon starts acting weird. It' s everywhere, and it wants to do everything. And Jasper must find a way to get rid of it before it takes over his life. The only problem? The creepy crayon will not leave.
Harold and the Purple Crayon meets Faust, and the imaginative, humorously written result is so ridiculous that it' s hard to stay really scared. -- Horn Book * 9/1/22 * Reynolds' text might as well be a Rod Serling monologue for its perfectly paced foreboding and unsettling tension, both gentled by lightly ominous humor. Brown goes all in to match with a grayscale palette for everything but the purple crayon-a callback to black-and-white sci-fi thrillers as much as a visual cue for nascent horror readers. Chilling in the best ways. -- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW * 6/15/22 * Even readers who wouldn' t mind a smart crayon of their own should see the value in that. -- Booklist * 07/01/2022 *
