(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marc Brown. Mary McScary can scare everyone around--except her cousin Harry. Mary throws increasingly large (and dangerous) animals at Harry, but he befriends every creature instead. There's nothing left to do but kiss him ("EEEEEEEEK!"). Stine shows his horror-humor skills, though the repetition grows a bit wearying. Brown's illustrations humorously balance the everyday elements with the creature-feature details.
