whitneymouse 's review for:
Creepy Crayon!
by Aaron Reynolds
**Thank you to Simon and Schuster in connection with School Library Journal's Picture Book Palooza for the review copy. This in no way changed my opinion**
I loved the other entries in this series and this is no exception. Reynolds knows how to make the book just the slightest bit creepy while also being funny. The books make great Storytime books.
This one features a crayon that helps Jasper become a better student, but it develops an unhealthy dependency on Jasper and keeps appearing, no matter what Jasper does to try and get away from it. The original scene of him finding the crayon I think is meant to evoke [b:It|830502|It|Stephen King|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1334416842l/830502._SY75_.jpg|150259] for the adult reading the book, as the crayon is sitting on a sewer grate in front of an opening like Georgie's paper boat. The references are clever and the story is fun. Would recommend!
