October Chapter Chasers Book Club: Yarn is Everything!

Chapter Chasers Book Club is designed for emerging readers (ages 6-9) who are chasing the thrill of reading their first chapter books! We encourage both independent reading and family read-alouds for these selections, with the goal of getting kids excited about reading and fostering connections with a community of readers. Our 20-minute book discussion is followed by a themed read aloud and craft or game.

Our October discussion will center on the newest in Jasper Rabbit's Creepy Tales! chapter book series, Yarn is Everything! This is the least scary book in the series and they are all designed as standalone reads. As a slightly spooky book, it is a perfect for getting in the Halloween spirit! It is in the same world, with the same creators - Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown - as our favorites Creepy Carrots! and Creepy Pair of Underwear!, making it a great choice for those starting to get into chapter books as it has familiar storytelling and visuals.

Parents are welcome to stay on the Junior side and participate or browse the adult side, but they must remain on-site.

Mention the book club at the shop or order online and note “book club” to get 10% off!

By attending any and all Old Town Books events you are agreeing to our code of conduct.

About The Book

From the team behind the New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Medal–winning Creepy Carrots! and its sequels comes the third entry in a spin-off chapter book series in which Jasper Rabbit tells the story of a mole whose hobby unravels into horror!

Check out the third installment in Jasper Rabbit’s all-new series of Creepy Tales! Ready for some serious spookiness? Ready to surrender to the goofiness of your imagination? Well, then let Jasper tell you about Winona Mole and her unsettling experience with her favorite thing in the world…yarn!

Winona has one true love, and that is crocheting. She loves it more than anything, to the point where her father took her to the Museum of Woolen Arts and Yarn Stitchery for her ninth birthday. But she may have gotten more than she bargained for when an unexpected souvenir changes her life forever. With a talent that seems to grow overnight, she earns a spot on the hottest show on television, Yarn is Everything!. She might just earn the title of Ultimate Yarn Master crocheter of all time…but at what price?

Because nothing comes for free, and in this creepy tale you better be careful that your fabric obsessions don’t become…everything.
