4.0 out of 5 stars
Scary,
By Megan Allyn (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories (Audio Cassette)
This book is a collection of short scary stories for children, perfect for Halloween season. I remember reading these stories when I was younger and think that they where they scariest things. If you read the stories to the children, you could then have them come up with their own scary stories. Plus it is a great way to introduce the genre of mystery and suspense and teach the children what qualities a book must have to actually be a mystery. Most of all these short stories are fun to read and they are not so scary that a child would be left with nightmares, and they are short enough that they keep the child's attention long enough
5.0 out of 5 stars
My daughter had one of these stories read at her wedding,

One of the stories in this book, The Green Ribbon, had such an impact on my daughter (when it was read to her in preschool) that she had it recited at her wedding.My daughter wore a green ribbon around her neck which the groom untied to symbolize that they weren't hiding anything from each other. The Green Ribbon is such a romantic story--until the very last line.
