First up on the 2013-2014 Texas 2x2 list is Creepy Carrots - words by Aaron Reynolds and pictures by Peter Brown.
Jasper Rabbit can't get enough of the carrots from Crackenhopper Field... until they start following him and showing up everywhere. Can he find a way to get someone to believe him, or is he really just imagining things?
