Reviews

  • Brallier Offers well-written and rather scary stories based loosely on relatable fears

     “Brallier Offers well-written and rather scary stories based loosely on relatable fears: things lurking under the bed; toys that come to life; noises at the window; and swallowing something that should never be found in one’s stomach. Each short story closes in suspense. Open-ended denouements encourage the imagination to run wild and may even lead readers to write their own conclusions. Framed by an entertaining and intriguing introductory letter from storyteller Mister Shivers, and concluding with a bonus feature showing how to draw a one-eyed bear from one of the tales, these five short stories are reminiscent of Alvin Schwartz’s “Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark.” VERDICT With darkly charming, detailed, and abundant illustrations, this palm-sized volume is sure to appeal to child fans of the mildly macabre.”

  • Great ‘scary’ book for young readers!

    “Great ‘scary’ book for young readers! My second grader (7yo) reads this to her younger siblings and they all enjoy the stories. Not too scary, just the right amount of creep for little kids. No one has been actually scared by anything in this book (youngest is 4) and they all have a little giggle at the stories afterwards. Very cute and creepy book for little ones. My 7 year old easily reads through the book in the evenings when they are wanting to hear a scary story. The statue story is everyones favorite! They joke about him stealing their blankets. “

  • Good Spooky fun!

    “Good Spooky fun! My 4 & 6 year old LOVE this book! We have read it almost every night since it arrived. Before it came I was a little worried it might scare or give them nightmares, but once I read through it (by myself first) I realized I had nothing to worry about; it’s perfect for young kids. My 6 year old especially likes it because she thinks it’s not “babyish” (which is THE highest praise these days). Because it’s an acorn book she can just about read the whole thing herself too. Our favorite stories are the “noise at the window” and “hair down to my belly”, which seem to be drawn from the same vein as the “Scary Stories” book series I loved to read as a kid!”

  • I loved this book as a kid.

    “I loved this book as a kid. Sooo I had to get it for my boys as well. One of my sons has a learning disability so this is a easy read chapter book. The chapters are only a couple of pages. So it makes reading easier and fun! I love the fact that this is a chapter book which means for his age he should be reading a chapter book but it is still for early reader!!”
    –Kym, Amazon Review

  • these books helped my son Keep his interest

    “My son is 8. I can’t get him to read anything. Always a fight. He struggles with reading but these books helped him by keeping his interest all while helping him read unknowingly. Thankful for these “scary stories”
    –Emily, Amazon Review

  • It’s hard to find horror or spooky books for little kids

    “It’s hard to find horror or spooky books for little kids, but this one worked great. My son has me read it over and over again very slowly and with a ghost like voice. Fun!”
    –DC Erin, Amazon Review

  • Perfect book for a beginner reader.

    “Perfect book for a beginner reader. My youngest son loves scary stories but have had a hard time finding some for a 1st/2nd grader. These books are fantastic and not overly scary.”
    –Sing_Keys, Amazon Review
