Yarn Is Everything!
From the team behind the New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Medal–winning Creepy Carrots! and its sequels comes the third entry in a spin-off chapter book series in which Jasper Rabbit tells the story of a mole whose hobby unravels into horror!
Check out the third installment in Jasper Rabbit’s all-new series of Creepy Tales! Ready for some serious spookiness? Ready to surrender to the goofiness of your imagination? Well, then let Jasper tell you about Winona Mole and her unsettling experience with her favorite thing in the world…yarn!
Winona has one true love, and that is crocheting. She loves it more than anything, to the point where her father took her to the Museum of Woolen Arts and Yarn Stitchery for her ninth birthday. But she may have gotten more than she bargained for when an unexpected souvenir changes her life forever. With a talent that seems to grow overnight, she earns a spot on the hottest show on television, Yarn is Everything!. She might just earn the title of Ultimate Yarn Master crocheter of all time…but at what price?
Because nothing comes for free, and in this creepy tale you better be careful that your fabric obsessions don’t become…everything.
This book will be available for purchase at the event.
