Troubling Tonsils! by Aaron Reynolds

5.0

dark funny mysterious fast-paced

---

The first in a series of cautionary tales told to us by Jasper Rabbit, Troubling Tonsils follows the story of young Charlie Marmot. Charlie has a cold and finds out that his tonsils need to be removed. However, when Charlie expresses his desire to keep his tonsils in a glass jar to bring to show-and-tell, things start getting creepy. He hears slurping noises late at night, his bedroom is rearranged by morning, and as he is getting prepped for surgery, Charlie’s doctor discovers that his tonsils are already gone! How could this be? Where did they go?

I am so excited to introduce this new series to my readers. They all love Jasper Rabbit picture books, and I’m sure they will adore more tales from his expanded universe. I especially loved how Jasper introduced the story ala The Twilight Zone. Highly recommended for all libraries serving elementary-aged students. 

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
