Anytime Jasper has difficulty with something the crayon is there to help him out. However, when he comes across a perfect purple crayon everything begins to change.įirst, the changes are for the best. In the beginning, Jasper is flunking art. In this book, Jasper gets himself into a bit of a pickle with a crayon.

Just like the other two spooky books in this series, Creepy Crayon is a blend of humor with a little spook. He included the shadows and unique visual angles in his illustrations to set the scene for a spooky story.Here is a quick overview if you haven’t had a chance to read this cute book yet. When creating the illustrations, Peter Brown used black and white horror movies as his inspiration. Pair this book with Creepy Carrots, the other spooky collaboration between Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown, where orange is the color that makes the carrots creepy to do a full color analysis. You’ve heard of rose-colored glasses, where you look to see the best things in the world and take the optimistic view of the situation? For this primary source pairing, invite students to put on their green-colored glasses and do an analysis of the use of color in the book Creepy Pair of Underwear! The black and white illustrations with hues of greens speak to the spookiness of the story and the fact that these underwear are following Jasper Rabbit. But after trying everything to get rid of them, they keep coming back!

Jasper’s not scared obviously, he’s just done with creepy underwear. If Jasper didn’t know any better he’d say his undies were a little, well, creepy. But when the lights go out, suddenly his new big rabbit underwear glows in the dark. He’s not afraid of the dark, and he’s definitely not afraid of something as silly as underwear.

Jasper Rabbit is NOT a little bunny anymore. Written by Aaron Reynolds, Illustrated by Peter Brown
