K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Pascale Constantin.
Five very short stories, some adapted from folklore, alternate between laughing at fear and reveling in it. Kicking a ghost turns out deadly in one story, but a monster in another does nothing but slobber. New readers who can handle ghosts that stay ghostly will tell their spooky new stories with pride. Illustrations let in enough light to comfort trepidatious readers.
