I FINALLY found a copy of this on ebay. Keep looking, and eventually you can catch one for less than $100.

I read "The Patchwork Monkey" when I was 7, and slept with my parents for a month. It scared me so bad that my mom had the librarian get rid of the book. We've spent the past 2 years trying to track down an affordable copy, and now that I have it, it's everything I remember it to be. Doesn't really *scare* me now, but is still pretty creepy. I count this book as my inspiration to be a writer. I can only hope that one day I can do to some other kid what this book did to me.

I hope you will forgive me if I do not remember everything about this book. It has been over ten years since I read it. I remember checking out of my elementary school's library as often as I could. This book is a collection of short scary stories about monsters. For concerned parents, this book was part of the collection of a very prestigious Christian elementary school's library. The stories are frightening in a mental sort of way, and never resort to blood and guts to scare the readers. Most of the stories end with the monsters either being destroyed, or losing their potential victims, but for those who like that sort of thing, there are two stories that leave the reader hanging, so beware. They probably won't give you nightmares, but any of the stories in this book are suitable for campfire use for children and adults alike. Enjoy.

A book of short stories containing everything a young child fears. A little girl's doll comes to life and does terrible things, a boy is kidnapped by a monster, and slowly becomes the monster himself. These and three other chillers really effected me as a kid, and because of that I still remember them today.

i remember this book, i was about 12 yrs old when i ran across it in the public library. the cover of the book caught my attention and man... the pictures in the book were even better. i was reading the other reviews and just like everyone else, the story of the patchwork monkey stood out the most, i vaguely remember the one about the chicken. the images of this book will definately stick with you. for the life of me i couldnt remember the entire name of this book, all i could remember was eerie creatures. i told my 13yr old son about this book which i thought he would probably get a kick out of it. this book in my opinion is the best scary childrens book published... steven king eat your heart out.

i read this book when I was in 2d grade, when my brother in 5th grade brought it home from the library. I read the patchwork monkey, and it scared the heck out of me!! and that picture of the monkey. EWWW! I was searching online for several days to figure out the name of this book. (Patchwork monkey kept sending me to crafts sites). Anyway, a fantastic book, very scary. Would love to get a copy (used are a bit pricey) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REPUBLISH AN ANNIVERSARY EDITION!

There is a story in this collection called "The Patchwork Monkey". I first read this story when I was in 4th grade and it scared me so good(bad) that I still remember it to this day and I am 34 now. Excellent scary stuff!

My brother bowered this book from the school library when we were children about 25 years ago and the cover of the book scared the heck out of me, despite the cover being so scary I was drawn in to read the stories. Ever since then I have loved to read, especially anything that was scary or written by Stephen King. I have been looking for this book for the past 20 years the price is pretty steep but is not bad for those who love to collect horror stories. A must have!!!
