Mary’s class is having a Halloween sleepover party at school! The children busily prepare for it, making wonderful decorations and fanciful costumes. But as night draws near, so do the children’s fears. Realistic classroom dynamics are showcased in this simple story in which all kinds of childhood fears are aired-and dispelled.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-This title is a little deceptive since there isn't much about the story that is scary, and very little happens. Mary's class is having a sleepover at the school on Halloween, and once the students put on their costumes, some of them are frightened. The narrative doesn't flow well, and is flat in comparison to the active pictures that emphasize positive classroom dynamics. The illustrations of the classmates are appealing and well drawn. The art outperforms the text in every way.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A whole lot of fun to get scared by this book,
This review is from: The Scary Sleepover (Hardcover)
Ulrich Karger tells hier a wonderful, sensitive picture book story. It captures the children's world with a lot of understanding and warm-hearted humor and, as long as the lights remain on, shows how to overcome the fear of a sleepover away from home. Uli Waas' wonderful illustrations enhance the story with a lot of charm. I am sheer enthused about it and can recommend it to children, parents, nursery school libraries and teachers.
