Creepy Carrots

Creepy Carrots was written by Aaron Reynolds and illustrated by Peter Brown.  It won the Caldecott Honor award in 2013.  The story follows a young rabbit who believes he is being followed by the carrots he is eating in a field.  The illustrations look as if they are black and white pencil drawn with only the carrots drawn in color.  The illustrator did a great job of portraying the authors meaning by keeping the colors dark.  While the story begins making the readers believe it is a scary book, in the end it turns out to be a silly book.  Keeping the carrots in color adds the whimsical aspect to the story.
