It's fall. October brings Halloween and scary stories.
The Teeny Tiny Ghost
4 stars
Author: Kay Winters
Illustrator: Lynn Munsinger
The teeny tiny ghost is very shy. Everything is scary. What's a ghost to do?
The illustrations are great. The ghost's two cats really add to the story. There are lots of Halloween touches in the illustrations.
A Dark Dark Tale
4 stars
Author/Illustrator: Ruth Brown
This book keeps inviting the reader into a scary story setting. The illustrations are suitably dark with many details hidden in them. The ending is unexpected.
Little Frog and the Scary Autumn Thing
4 stars
Author: Jane Yolem
Illustrator: Ellen Shi
It's Little Frog's first autumn and so many things are changing around her. She doesn't know what to think about these.
Papa Frog has some answers.
The illustrations are colorful as befits autumn and a bit hazy. The little frog is cute.
