I'm Going to Eat You, A Spooky Pop-Up Book (Pop-Up Flap Book) by Matt Mitter

by Matt Mitter

BEWARE! I'm Going to Eat You is full of spooky surprises and creepy creatures that pop-up underneath each flap. Illustrated by Jimmy Pickering. Cool format-large pop-up flaps throughout, die-cut cover adds cool effect. "When I get you, I'm going to eat you!" This statement is what wakes a young boy from his sleep. Curious, he begins searching for whoever-or whatever-is making the threat. But, this is no ordinary kid. He lives in a mansion full of boogie men, sea monsters, ghosts, and skeletons. As readers make their way through the house, they can open fun pop flaps that reveal scary surprises. So, who is making the threat? Kids will have to read to the end to find out-it's really his little sister in the pantry with a box of cookies!

Young Spike sitting in bed hears an ominous "I'm going to eat you!" which leads him on a fantastic exploration of his house finding the source of the voice. Along the way he meets the bogeyman, a sea serpent, a ghost, and a werewolf. In the end it turns out to be his little sister threatening a cookie, "I'm going to eat you!" The illustrations by Jimmy Pickering make the book a treat, as all the monsters are fantastically drawn ,and the popups are wonderful. A must for any parent or child who likes spooky monsters. Recommended.

Combine the creepy, gooey, sweetness of Halloween with the clever interactivity of a pop-up book and your reaching very close to perfection. This book is awesomely fun. I'm not sure who likes this book better—me or my kids. We've read this one 100s of times...well, it seems like 100s.

My two year old really loves this book. I think it's kind of a fun way to read about monsters under the bed in a way that makes them not seem scary.

I purchased this book for my son when he was 2 years ago and it is by far the book he has wanted to read the most, still today three years later at age five.
