Illustrated by
Peter Brown.
Is Jasper Rabbit losing his mind? Or are the carrots from Crackenhopper Field--where he gorges daily--really "coming for him!"? No one else sees them, but Jasper knows they're there; he can hear "the soft...sinister...tunktunktunk of carrots creeping." Brown's dynamic illustrations, all in gray-scale except for the orange sentient carrots, take full advantage of the goofy story's mock horror.
