Jasper Rabbit loves carrots, especially Crackenhopper Field carrots. He eats them on the way to school. He eats them on his way to Little League. He eats them walking home.
Then one day, as Jasper is tugging a carrot out of the ground, he hears a noise — a soft, spine-tingling tunktunktunk. It sounds like carrots creeping up behind him. When he turns around, the carrots are harmlessly poking out of the ground, just as always. But soon these humble root vegetables are following Jasper everywhere.
