The story is 'Creepy Pair of Underwear' by Aaron Reynolds, illustrated by Peter Brown.

For those who cannot get a copy of the book (because libraries hate COVID), 'Storytime with Awnie' has you covered!

I love this lady's voice; I esp. like how she says 'bunny', when reading for Jasper ^^

So, yeah, the main character is a bunny named Jasper ...with whom our tale begins, at the underwear store (today's featured pencil testifies such stores do exist!).

Jasper is accompanied by his mother, who has very 'plain white' tastes in undergarments for her son. Jasper offers no protest, however, something interesting catches his eye:

'Creepy Underwear! So Creepy! So Comfy!'

The underwear is neon green, and boasts a face print resembling that of Frankenstein's monster.

Jasper is in love, but his mom finds the underwear 'a little too creepy'.

Jasper replies,

"They're not creepy! They're cool!"

Is Jasper claiming false advertising?

"I'm not a little bunny anymore; I'm a big rabbit now!"

Why does that remind me of an old Pampers Pull-ups commercial? :P

Anyway, the mom acquiesces to buy the underwear for Jasper.

That night, Jasper joyfully dons his creepy-cool underwear to bed. His father asks if Jasper needs a light on, but Jasper is confident that nothing spooky will befall him.

Honestly, I find the concept of being creeped out by one's underwear a little  creepy-cringe in and of itself (albeit, oddly amusing). ^^

I'm not exactly sure how to describe what happens next. It seems the underwear has either come to life or has become radioactive ...or both.
Either way, the underwear begins to glow very eerily ...at least, the storybook's text describes it as the underwear that's glowing, but the illustration seems a bit confused: https://sta.sh/0widc0kcy5g

HYPOTHETICALWATCHER: "Bunny beans"

Yes, that's exactly what I'd hoped you'd see. :P

Anyhow, Jasper is a bit unsettled by this glow,

"(Jasper) closed his eyes; he pulled up the covers. He buried his face in his pillow. But it didn't help. He could still see that ghoulish, greenish glow"

Awesome! Pretend you're a firefly! :D

Instead, Jasper changes into a pair of plain white undies, burying the creepy ones at the bottom of the laundry hamper.

Sleep follows, but with the morning comes a dreadful discovery: the creepy underwear has found its way back onto Jasper---moreover, having swapped itself with the plain whites! D:

Now, I'll not spoil too much, but what proceeds is a string of incidents which follow 'The Cat Came Back' formula (a story I hated as a child). Concisely, despite his best efforts, Jasper cannot rid himself of the creepy underwear---they return no matter what he does to them.

Then this happens...

Now, I warn you, this image carries a significant trigger factor---don't click it if you're easily traumatized! D:

https://sta.sh/08se4bnp0jl

Jasper commandeers his mothers good sewing scissors and cuts the underwear into confetti!

The horror comes from the idea that the underwear may've in fact been sentient.

Evidence would include the underwear's 'attachment' to Jasper, its ability to have and act upon intent ...as well the fact of its countenance changing from time to time, conveying emotion ...most chilling of all is the underwear's expression in the above image, implying the underwear knew exactly what was about to happen to it, with the scissors! D:
Coupled with the maniacal laughter given us by Awnie, this scene will be in my nightmares for weeks!

N-E-way, Jasper's act of homicide seems to've done the trick. Jasper searches about for signs of creepy, resurrected underwear ...Nothing!

...Until

Jasper enters the bathroom to find the underwear has returned, waiting for him there! D:

Of course, all this terror hasn't gone completely unobserved by Jasper's parents,

"What's the matter with you" (Jasper's) mom asked.
"You're so jittery lately"

Jasper confesses nothing. Instead, he snatches the underwear and heads out, far and away, to a place where he can bury them.

...So. Jasper cuts his victim to pieces and seeks to bury the evidence (kinda). And I thought only kids stuff from my childhood was this messed up! XD

...And just as an aside, I wouldn't trust Jasper with any small pets (just sayin').

As before, Jasper returns home to determine whether the underwear has somehow returned.

Nothing. And so it remained throughout the day.

That night, Jasper put on a pair of his customary plain white undies. Only this time, upon turning out the light for sleep, Jasper finds his room is a little too dark for comfort.

So rather than switch on a lamp, Jasper returns to the burial site to retrieve the creepy, glowy underwear from its dreadful grave! D:

"The creepy underwear were a little *muddy. But they filled the room with that gentle, greenish glow"

*no jokes, please (being unfunny is my job) ^^

My guess is the trauma given to Jasper by his ordeal with the underwear has left him with a fear of the dark. Could also be that the spirit of the underwear possessed Jasper in some way. We may never know, but there is room to speculate,

"The next day, Jasper gathered his allowance money and went to the underwear store all by himself. Just like a big rabbit"

Jasper bought all the creepy underwear he could afford, and decorated his room with this haul (supposedly to negate the dark).

...I love this story! XD

The style of the illustrations don't jive with my aesthetic, but the tale itself sells the book to me.
The story is bit dark and ...I'd guess the writer is a fan of Forensic Files (or something like), but I don't think the story goes too far---it's cute and great for Halloween ...and/or for furs who like cubs and underwear/bathers ...yes, that's a thing (you've seen my gallery, right?). ^^

Anyway, if you like Jasper, and Awnie's reading of, Awnie's read at least one other Jasper story, 'Creepy Carrots' (link tested 09/24/2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJnIEbVLq90
