I loved Aunt Eater when I was younger and still do. I think this series is what helped start my love for mystery and I just love how cute and spooky these little tales are. I wish they'd make a TV series out of this, it would do really well. :)

This was adorable. I remember reading these “An I can read” books when I was little and really enjoyed them. It was so nice to find this book and enjoy the style and art all over again! There are 5 mysteries to 4 stories in this book and they were fun to read, even as an adult, and the pictures were very eye catching! Lots of fun!

Logan: I liked at the end the story of the scarecrow. I liked how everyone was afraid of the piano, too!

[Dolly]

A short story, with great pictures and an engaging narrative. This book is a little beyond the reading abilities of my oldest, but we enjoyed reading it together. It's a chapter book, but only has 4 chapters and we were able to read it at one setting.

Mommy says: 8yo Cana read this only because she was sitting with me while I read it to her 6yo brother. It's pretty far below her current reading level.

Aunt Eater had to find the monster, ghost and scarecrow. A.R.
