Creepy Crayon! By Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown - ESSENTIAL

Creepy Crayon! By Aaron Reynolds, illustrated by Peter Brown
. Simon and Schuster, 2022. $19. 9781534465886 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Jasper Rabbit at first pleased that the purple crayon he found is helping him get straight A’s. But pleasure quickly turns to terror as the creepy crayon does its job, despite Jasper banishing it, hiding it, melting it. Jasper just wants to go back to getting the Cs he earned all on his own. What can he do?! 

I love that Reynolds and Brown have chosen purple for the latest Creepy book. As an adult, I of course love the theme of not cheating, but kids won’t need to notice that – they will just love it.
