Welcome to Litsy!

“Creepy underwear is nothing to be afraid of… right?”

would use this book to show students how pictures can set the mood of a story. They could try drawing their own “creepy” or “silly” illustrations to match a story.

Creepy Pair of Underwear! (Picturebook, 2017) tells much of its story through the pictures. The dark pages, glowing green underwear, and big shadows make the book feel spooky. The shapes are bold and simple, which keeps it funny instead of scary. The pictures guide the reader‘s feelings on every page.

“His creepy pair of underwear had somehow returned from China. And it had brought back souvenirs.“

This story is a great way to show students the color choice of the story where the illustrator decides to make the only color visible green. This highlights what Jasper the rabbit sees and emphasizes the importance of color in illustrations.

“And were those... chopsticks? His creepy pair of underwear had somehow returned from China. And it had brought back souvenirs“.

2017
With moody green-and-black illustrations, Creepy Pair of Underwear! hilariously captures Jasper Rabbit‘s spooky struggle with glow-in-the-dark underwear. The art heightens both the humor and suspense, making this quirky tale a perfect mix of silly and slightly scary fun.
Genre: Picture book

You can use Creepy Pair of Underwear! in the classroom to explore themes of bravery, problem-solving, and facing fears. Students can discuss how illustrations create mood and tension, then design their own “creepy” objects.

Genre- picture book, caldecott
publication year- 2017

The illustrations in Creepy Pair of Underwear! by Peter Brown are both funny and spooky. The dark, cinematic shading creates a creepy atmosphere, while the glowing green underwear pops off the page. Expressions and details add humor, balancing fright with fun, making the artwork essential to the story‘s playful suspense.

I would use this lesson to teach about facing fears

“jasper threw them into the garbage can“

The use of green coloring to show how creepy the underwear is. Green to me is associated with toxic and garbage and I feel like this is enhanced with the fact that Jasper keeps trying to throw the underwear out and the underwear is green.

“...the underwear glowed. A ghoulish, greenish glow.“

I would use this book around October/Halloween to help the class connect with the time of season without directly referencing the actual holiday.

Picture book published in 2017
The style in which Peter Brown illustrates was once again with the focus to convey the message of “creepy“. He used mostly black and white with only the “green“ items being in color. He also used lots of shading, adding to that creepy feel.

“i think they are a little too creepy”

I hope I can use this in my classroom as it is lighthearted and fun and could make a fun craft.

This books illustrations were very similar to creepy carrots but they are more gooey. the depth and perception draws you in.

“Creepy underwear were so creepy… they were horrifying.”

I would use this book for grades 1–3. This book can support lessons on character development, problem/solution, and theme, and what it really means to be brave. A fun classroom writing activity could be inventing students‘ own “Creepy” objects and illustrating them with contrasting colors. With 3rd graders, I could also pair Creepy Carrots and Creepy Pair of Underwear to compare how Peter Brown uses color (orange vs. green) to set mood.

“Jasper‘s underwear was glowing! Glowing! Glowing!”

Peter Brown uses digital illustrations with vibrant colors and expressive character designs to amplify humor and suspense. The exaggerated facial expressions and dynamic layouts highlight the tension and fun in Jasper‘s adventure.

This book is a picturebook. It was published in 2017 and illustrated by Peter Brown. The use of Line in this book is bold, angular lines add tension, while rounded, exaggerated shapes make Jasper expressive and funny. The palette is primarily black, gray, and muted tones, with the neon green glow of the underwear stealing the spotlight. This creates contrast and keeps the underwear central in every spread.

In the classroom, this story is a fun way to teach narrative structure, problem-solving, and the balance between humor and suspense.

Jasper Rabbit books are a favorite with my 8 year old. We read these tonight. We have a huge stack of Halloween books so I‘m going to post a few every day. We read Halloween books every night for the month of October (my daughter is obsessed with Halloween books). #scarathon #BatBrigade 🦇 #batsignal

This weeks readalouds at my school library, very fun and also stacked some good points for #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix @StayCurious

A campy, suspenseful, fun book about being followed by spooky underwear? It‘s every kid‘s Halloween dream! My son heard this at this library & loved it, so we read the ebook. Cute! #kidlit #fun #Halloween #Scarathalon2021 #TeamSlaughter

Here were my spooky reads with students this week, two set on Halloween adding up to +81 points for #teamharkness #scarathlon2020 I should ask @StayCurious do rereads count if so I read two or these several times this week lol.

This F book by Aaron Reynolds and illustrated by Peter Brown is a sequel to Creepy Carrots! Jasper Rabbit is growing up fast, and he's not scared of anything. Even the dark! He does say his glow in the dark underwear are a little bit creepy. Things get even creepier when they keep showing up after Jasper gets rid of them! #ucflae3414f19
My UDL strategy is 3.1 Activate or supply background knowledge.

#ucflae3414f2019 If you have read Creepy Carrots and loved it, this book is right up your alley! This book is a Traditional Literature book about a rabbit who wants a creepy pair of underwear, but soon regrets his decision. This story is great for a spooky story to the class, with a subtle message at the end.

This was a really cute book. Adorable illustrations and funny story. This one may find it‘s way to my classroom if I can find it in translation.

This would be such a fun book to read to children around Halloween! 💚

Had a great couple of classes today with my Kinder, 1st, and 2nd graders. Talked about the jobs of Authors and Illustrators with all three, and practiced retelling the story with the last two. Getting ready for Halloween!

@Jess7 It‘s not a #tbrcart, but my IKEA cart (formerly of the spare bathroom) is now housing our small board books and a few large hardcovers. In the process, I reorganized all of the boys‘ books. There‘s an identical white case across the playroom, also full. #raisingreaders #bookcart

Of course we‘ve all heard of Creepy Carrots but are you ready for Creepy UNDERWEAR?! This F book would make the perfect read aloud, especially around Halloween! I enjoy these particular Aaron Reynolds books because you can still read them around Halloween without offending any of your students who do not celebrate! https://deannajump.com/creepy-underwear-lesson-plans/ is a great resource to use as it includes an anchor chart where the students

Yes!!!! By far the funniest children‘s book I‘ve read in a long time.

#HopIntoSpring Day 19: If you are looking for #SomethingFunny, go no further than this latest picturebook by Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown. This one had me in stitches- who would‘ve thunk an underwear can prove to be oh so creepy. Full review here, alongside other titles: https://gatheringbooks.org/2018/02/05/monday-reading-80/

Creepy Pair of Underwear written by Aaron Reynolds illustrated by Peter Brown which is a RF story. Just like Creepy Carrots, Jasper also find himself in a sticky situation with a pair of "creepy underwear". Will he keep the underwear or will he throw them away? #UCFLAE3413SP18

Definitely one of my absolute favorite children's picture books & my go to gift for a last min 4 year old's birthday party today. This book is adorable and I can't recommend it more for little readers.

An enjoyable story that tickles your funny bone. With a humorous storyline, this story teaches children how fear can crop up from anything or anywhere and that fear is not a bad thing.
