1-3Igor's Lab of Fear series.
Illustrated by
Andy Catling.
Professor Igor welcomes readers into his Laboratory of Fear for this collection of creepy chapter books. Each simplistic horror story tries to be more than your usual fright fest with teaching moments augmented by appended science facts ("Lab Notes"), discussion questions, and writing prompts. The black-and-white illustrations help set a scary tone without being overly grisly. Glos. Review covers these Igor's Lab of Fear titles: Brain Invaders and Electric Claw.
