About the Book

Creepy Crayon is an entertaining book to share with students.

 In Creepy Crayon!, Jasper Rabbit is having a hard time at school. The night before his test, he stays up late watching Tales From the Carrot Patch instead of studying. But when Jasper uses his new crayon, everything that was once hard now seems easy! It isn’t long before the crayon starts appearing out of nowhere and leaving him messages that creep him out. Jasper decides it’s time to get rid of the crayon once and for all….but is the crayon ready to let Jasper go?

Creepy Crayon Craft

This craft has been created to help students practice sequencing Creepy Crayon in a fun and engaging way. Each crayon has a story detail written on it. Students place the crayons in the crayon box in the order they happened in the story. Students can empty the crayon box, mix up the crayons, and complete the activity again.

For students who need additional support or those who need a challenge, I have included ideas to differentiate this craft activity. This includes:

  • students add their own story details to a set of blank crayons
  • students number the crayons in the order they happened in the story
  • students color the details in rainbow order
If you're working on sequencing the events of Creepy Crayon, you might need to differentiate for your students. I have included ideas to help challenge your stronger readers and offered ways to support students who need additional help.

Meet Mazie McGear, a girl who loves to engineer! Whenever she finds a problem, she turns on her imagination and then starts drawing and building. 

Hungry dog?
Mazie creates The Food-o-Matic! 

Heavy boxes need moving?
Here comes the Roly-Ramp!

Sleepy Sibling?
Try The Waker-Upper Rocket Machine!
(P.S. Mazie’s brother is NOT a fan 🤣)

This book would be a great addition to your STEM/STEAM book collection. It is sure to inspire future engineers and problem solvers to find out-of-the box solutions to their everyday lives.

“Even the smallest can help make the biggest cha “Even the smallest can help make the biggest change.”

In this story, the smallest turtles have always climbed on top of the biggest turtles to reach the freshest fruit. The big turtles would eat the fallen berries which were often sour and rotten. It’s just the way it’s always been. But Littlest Turtle doesn’t think that’s fair, so he makes a plan to change the way things are done. But can he get the rest of the turtles to agree?

This new picture book shares an important message about using your voice to speak up for what is fair and right. Swipe to take a peek inside!

Where were the picture book biographies when I was Where were the picture book biographies when I was growing up? Sharing the stories of others through picture books offers kids a glimpse into the accomplishments and lives of others in an engaging and meaningful way. It allows kids to see the potential of big dreams, hard work, and overcoming obstacles, while also helping them broaden their knowledge of the world around them. And when kids connect with the person whose story is being told, they are bound to find even more books about them to learn more. 

Here are three new picture book biographies to check out. Thank you to the publishers for these #gifted copies!  Swipe to take a peek inside each book.

“The perfect reader (let’s say that’s you) d “The perfect reader (let’s say that’s you) drinks in the words and together you make a special kind of magic.”

When kids connect with books - whether it’s the characters, the genre, the plot twists, or something else entirely - it feels like a whole new magical world has opened. And all of that magic is on display in this beautifully written and illustrated book that follows one book’s journey through the hands of many different readers.
