On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Aaron Reynolds about the first book in his new middle grade series: JASPER RABBIT’S CREEPY TALES: TROUBLING TONSILS.

In this illustrated chapter book series, readers are reunited with Jasper Rabbit as he narrates a new set of creepy tales. In TROUBLING TONSILS, Charlie Marmot needs to have his infected tonsils removed, but creepiness sets in on the day of the surgery when he realizes they are already gone. It’s delightfully creepy!

Come listen as we talk about Aaron’s basis in theater that brought him to children’s literature, the 390 rejection letters received over 5 years, the reason he never gave up writing and the mission he has to write for kids who were just like him as a child. You’ll LOVE this conversation, I promise!

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
