Review

“This wonderfully inventive series introduces young readers to scary creatures who pop up regularly in children’s literature. Humorous cartoon-like illustrations and engaging first-person narratives offer vivid details about physical characteristics, nasty habits, and overall evil proclivities. The text weaves in historical and cultural perspectives to help children build background knowledge and context. Each volume includes an invitation for readers to write their own scary stories. The multicultural approach creates opportunities for students to make connections and gain deeper understandings, whether considering traditional or contemporary tales. Media specialists and teachers can use these to introduce genre units, and they are sure to attract browsers.”―starred, School Library Connection (
