Ever since the release of Creepy Carrot in August 2012, Jasper Rabbit has been amusing fans with his creepy hijinks. The first title in the series by Aaron Reynolds, illustrated by Peter Brown, won a Caldecott Honor and spurred two sequels, Creepy Pair of Underwear (2017) and Creepy Crayon (2022), which have sold a combined 2.5 million copies. The author and illustrator traveled the country to promote each of the Creepy Tales releases, and this year a Jasper Rabbit costume has been on tour, visiting bookstores, libraries, schools, and more. Here we present a selection of photos from the tour.
