Gustavo the Shy Ghost Activities

Creepy Carrots Activities

Creepy Carrots Activities Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds is one of my new favorite fall books and for a good reason.  It is just creepy enough (if you read it the way I read it) that makes kids LOVE it!  My students were silent as I read, you know that kind of silent…like when you know you HAVE them!  At the last minute we made
