[Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

An amusing book about a boy who tries to scare his family.
Unsuccessfully. Until...

I love the subtle rhyme scheme too.

Great book, simple to read and loved the twist at the end!

Jonathan loves to dress up in all sorts of costumes he manages to put together from items lying around the house and scares his family. No matter how hard he tries, Jonathan is just not very scary at all, even his family says so. He is almost ready to give up and find a new game to play when he meets a dinosaur who gives him a helping hand.

The simple text together with the vibrant illustrations makes this humorous story perfect for young readers.

Fun story and illustrations, with rhymes to boot.
Three and a half stars.
