I love books that take something that is "normal" and really create a fun story out of them.  This is one such book.  Before reading the book to my Kindergartners, I love to say "What do you think of when you hear the word "scary"?  Ghosts, monsters, etc.  are brought up.  Their eyes get wide as I then say, "Those are not scary compared to what we are reading about today...Today...we are reading about...the thing that scares me the most....CAAARRRROOOOTTTTS!  The student's reaction is hilarious!  Peter Brown brings such a fun "Twilight Zone" feel to this book with illustrations that match perfectly with Reynold's text.  It's a little creepy BUT it's a story that ends in a way that has the students giggling.  I don't want to ruin the ending so you better borrow this book to see for yourself!  The carrots in your fridge will never look the same.  Bwahahahahahahaha.
