Forget Children of the Corn; it is time to fear carrots! Like any good bunny child, Jasper loves carrots. Any time he passes through Crackenhopper Field—to school, to baseball practice, to home—he pulls some "fat...crispy...free" delicacies from the ground and enjoys a tasty snack. It is all lighthearted, yummy fun...at first. Then, the carrots start to follow him. They are on the hill...behind the shower curtain...in the shed...in his bedroom..."EVERYWHERE"! His parents check the dark shadows when Jasper calls for their help, but they never see the trio of orange menaces that Jasper does. Fortunately, Jasper is resourceful.
