Summary:
This book is alright to read. Alot of the stories are short and
mildly interesting but there definitely was one story that I liked. It was #5,
"The Night It Rained". That story is about a man who was
driving and saw a little boy. It was raining that night so he gave
him his sweater and took him home on the next day he went to the
little boys house to get his sweater, and he knocked on the door
then the woman told him that he must have saw a different boy because
her son Jim died a year ago so he went to the little boys grave
and saw his sweater it’s a good story.
The wrong things about this Book:
These stories are not scary they would be scary for a two year old
and there too short.
The good things about this Book:
Some illustrations are funny or scary looking. Some of the stories
are exciting or really interesting.
This book was a great book but only some stories
are all right like the teeth, the green ribbon, and the night it
rained.
