Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3-- In sharp contrast to Irving's eloquent and flowing language, this easy-to-read version of the classic story recounts the major premise in simplified prose. All of the key players are here and retain their distinctive personalities, while some events and circumstances have been left out. Standiford introduces Ichabod's love and admiration for Katrina almost immediately, omitting their initial teacher-student relationship. At the same time, the schoolmaster's fascination with ghosts and the supernatural is adequately developed. Nice, shadowy, colored-pencil drawings that are dark as well as humorous and expressive, complement the text. --Rita Soltan, Baldwin Public Library, Birmingham, MI

5.0 out of 5 stars Ghost Story for Kids, May 14, 2000
This review is from: The Headless Horseman (Step-Into-Reading, Step 3) (Paperback)
This is a children's version of the Washington Irving ghost story. My 7-year-old son read it in one afternoon and loved it. This will get any child reading who is the least bit interested in scary stories. Especially recommended for kids who are a little too young for Goosebumps but desperately want to read them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faithful to the Washington Irving's short story, January 23, 2007
This review is from: The Headless Horseman (Step-Into-Reading, Step 3) (Paperback)
I was very pleased with this retelling of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Donald Cook's illustrations will especially help in bringing the action to life for children. This book offers parents and children an opportunity to discuss the action and what they believe may have been the outcome based on the mysterious ending of the story. As other reviewers maintain, this is a great spooky story for kids.
