5.0 out of 5 stars My sons favorite, April 4, 2000

This review is from: In a Dark, Dark House (All Aboard Reading) (Paperback)

I purchased this book for my son, he was 3 at the time, I never thought i would be reading it over and over this many times.I have read this to him so many times, that I am going to buy another copy, the one i have is so worn from hours of enjoyment, it is falling apart. My son is almost 5 now, and is starting to reconize the words now. He knows the book so well, that he sometimes tries to read it to me!He loves the ending where the monster is in the trunk, and i have to sometimes read just the ending over and over.Thank you for such a great childrens book, it is helping him with his pre-school reading!

4.0 out of 5 stars fun reading prep book with flashcards, January 10, 2003

This review is from: In a Dark, Dark House (All Aboard Reading) (Paperback)

Our narrator, a boy of 4 or 5, tells us about his encounter in a spooky house. The first two-page spread is typical of the whole book: a full-page picture on the right shows the boy walking down a country road at night; the left-hand page inserts pictures for many of the simple [nouns] being used, and reads -- "The [sun] went down. The [stars] came out. The [clock] struck ten. And I went walking under a dark, dark [moon]."

The story shows the boy entering a room in a scary house and finding a monster there. The story is 11 pages of a few lines each, and is followed by four pages of flash cards (six on each page) which are mainly nouns contained in the story, with a picture on one side and the word opposite.

Our toddler loves the feeling of participating in the reading, enjoys the funny story, and likes to point at or say the flash words. This is fun reading prep material that your preschooler might enjoy too, though not if they have monster issues!

Others in the series, sans monsters, are Otto the Cat, Silly Willy and Don't Wake the Baby.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: In a Dark, Dark House (All Aboard Reading) (Paperback)

In a Dark ,Dark House
The story is about a house where no one has gone before.

There is a scary noise In the Dark ,Dark house.

In the Dark, Dark House interests me because it's like a mystery.
