A Very Hairy Scary Story

32 pp. | Putnam | August, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23858-1 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Clark. Sarah fears she'll get in trouble for coming home after her seven o'clock curfew, so she decides to sneak home through her neighborhood. Awkward rhymes describe Sarah's nighttime journey as she confronts (or imagines) some very hairy scary oversize creatures, including a spider and a lion. The atmospheric images of the creatures and Sarah's fearful reactions to them are more comical than scary.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
