Tucker and McGuirk are a wonderful combination
I first stumbled onto McGuirk's Quirks on the internet (www.tuckerdog.com) and have since fallen in love with each Tucker offering. The joy comes each time I share Tucker with my Grandaughter.

Ravenstone Press, 2005

Delightfully Scary Ghost Stories From The Plains
Everyone has fond memories of ghost stories, perhaps told around a campfire, or at a Halloween party. Children love to shiver with fright, knowing full well they're safe and sound and the ghosts can't *really* get them. But they grow up and discard the ghost stories and spooky tales as childish things best forgotten. Well, get ready to shiver again. TRESPASSING TIME: GHOST STORIES FROM THE ...

The MUST Read for October!
I have 2 sons, now ages 6 & 4, we've had this book for 4 years and for all four years we have read this book at least once EVERY SINGLE DAY! My 4 year old can even recite the book himself without even looking at the pictures. I hate to even admit this, but sometimes we are still reading this close to Thanksgiving (ssshhh please don't tell everyone, but we are all nuts for this book). I Love ...

I Spy A Winner!
The I Spy Spooky Night book is one of many 'I Spy' books our family has enjoyed. We have the 'I Spy Extreme Challenger!', 'I Spy Super Challenger', 'I Spy School Days', 'I Spy Treasure Hunt' and the 'I Spy Mystery' book just to name a few of them. They will entertain no matter what your age. Our children and now our grandchildren have pulled these books out many times. They are like magnets and ...

Home in the Adirondacks
This was just a fun book to read! It brings a very cute story together with the feel of the North Country. The Adirondacks are my favorite place to visit and Rebecca Leonard got it right.

Erica and S. D. Schindler Silverman

Scholastic Inc., 1993

The Best Halloween book for preschoolers out there!
Big Pumpkin is so Big in our house, it's read all the time...Oh and our son loves it too! Once my son (4 years old) discovered and fell in love with Big Pumpkin it didn't matter if it was Halloween or not. The story is nothing short of hilarious, the illustrations could not be better suited and truly compliment this book where so many others fall short. My husband and I get such a kick out of ...

Great read
I've read 1-4 of the series and am thoroughly enjoying it. The main characters, the illustrations, the storyline. It's no so complex that you feel the need to take notes or keep a dictionary near by. The whole book is suspenseful, pulls you right along. I'm not sure what more you could ask for. Entertaining young adult reading!

Boo Who? A Spooky Book

7 reviews

Cartwheel, 1997

This is my 2 year old daughter's favorite Halloween book.
My 2 year old, Charlotte, demanded this book repeatedly this past Halloween. It was the one she WANTED read over and over. She loved the ending, and I liked the fact that the mirror at the end was good quality, so she could actually see herself (not just a blur).

Spooky Thing

W. O. Steele

Harcourt, 1960

A perfect read-aloud book especially for adolescent boys !
Late one afternoon while procrastinating my graduate school duties at the library, I remembered reading this book 35 years ago. I immediately searched it out and found the perfect distraction from studies. The Spooky Thing is a delightful old hillbilly tale from the Smoky Mountains. It tells the story of two cantankerous brothers that are constantly fighting each other(hmmm sound familiar?). ...

Globe Pequot, 2006

Spooky New Jersey
Spooky New Jersey captures your interest from the first story to the last. No New Jersey folklore book is complete without a New Jersey Devil story. The author of this book has adventures of the Jersey Devil in a 1909 setting. The Devil's activities are presented in an interesting and straight forward manner. Another story that captured my interest is named Brotherly Love. The setting is in ...

Random House Childrens Books, 1997

A BOOK TO BE TREASURED BY ADULTS AND CHILDREN.
This is a wonderful anthology. Top-notch mystery writers and their children (and, in some cases, grandchildren) collaborated on a variety of entertaining stories. Pay particular attention to "Releve", the story contributed by Patricia Wallace and her daughter. This story introduces us to Sydney Bryant, the private eye that Pat Wallace has featured in a terrific series for adults. The titles ...

Thirteen O'Clock

James Stimson, 2005

"A skeleton with a skeleton's key..."
I love the illustrations in this book and its innovative concept: a quirky clock that actually chimes at thirteen, quite unlike the ordinary timekeeper, that only runs from one to twelve. Stimson's brilliant illustrations remind me of my favorite animated films, The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach, with the eccentric faces of unusual characters that pop out at the chime ...

Eek-a-Boo!: A Spooky Lift-the-Flap Book

4 reviews

Cartwheel, 2000

Adorable Halloween book
Better than most Halloween books I've seen for preschool or kindergarten. Colors are bright and bold. The rhymes are well done. With the sounds the creatures make, it's also a good phonics lesson. And the flaps that you lift held up well under multiples readings. Most of all, it's just a cute book. I've given copies in place of candy to friends/family's kids at halloween this year.

Bill Peet charms again!
If you have yet to become acquainted with Bill Peet books, you're in for a treat! His vibrantly colorful illustrations are fantastic and his stories very engaging. I remember as a child how my imagination would run and frolick around in his wonderful stories and pictures. Prewitt Peacock's story is no exception. It's a tale of a... well... a tail. Prewitt's tail is different from the other ...

Globe Pequot, 2007

A highly entertaining book
All the stories in this book are very interesting. It is hard to pick a favorite. I really enjoyed the story entitled "Paul Bunyan and the Witch". This is a really good Paul Bunyan story that I had not heard before. This story by itself is worth the price of the book. The "Nain Rouge" in it's story line mention's a man named "Cadillac," according to the story seeing the Nain Rouge brings bad ...
