READ-ALOUDS! PRIZES! VIEWER MAIL! SNEAK PEEKS! GENERAL TOMFOOLERY! Hey! I'm Aaron Reynolds, author of kids' books like CREEPY CARROTS!, CREEPY PAIR OF UNDERWEAR!, NERDY BIRDY, DUDE!, Caveboy Dave, and loads more! During these strange CoronaVirus times, I was getting lots of requests from teachers and librarians for permission to read my books aloud online and to do virtual school visits. So I created The Aaron Reynolds Stay-At-Home Show! Hosted by me, it will contain read alouds of my books, viewer Q&A, givaways of signed books, recommendations for fighting the worldwide-pandemic blues, and lots more! It's a tool for teachers, librarians, and parents to engage students during these oddball times, but mostly...it's for kids! I'll broadcast a couple episodes a week until things return to normal. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJXbii5VBWmxETyaVs2Bqaw/featured Creepy Carrots Read Aloud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57JMSA8Qtpc&list=PLjXy91OfJg0go22HZBIwx82sYG173WRPY&index=6&t=0s Ms. Stephens recommends listening to author Aaron Reynolds read this book. She says, “I saw Aaron Reynolds read Creepy Carrots live at a conference, and it was amazing and hilarious! No matter how hard I try, I can never read it in the same way he does, with his crazy sound effects! If you love this book, and I know a lot of you Tigers do, then definitely listen to him read it in his fun way!” (he also discusses Creepy Carrots in his Stay at Show #1, but this is a shorter video if you just want the read aloud)
