Gr 1-4–The early chapter book spin-off from the Caldecott Medal–winning duo’s Creepy Carrots is both creepy and fun. This installment features young Charlie Marmot. When Charlie learns that he needs to have his tonsils removed, he decides to bring them to school to show them off. He is in for a shocking and hilarious series of surprises from the time he arrives at his doctor’s appointment and finds that his tonsils have disappeared! Brown’s expressive, spooky three-toned illustrations are the perfect complement to Reynolds’s twisted tale of a tonsillectomy gone awry.
VERDICT Fans of Jasper Rabbit will love this new addition to the popular series.
