The Monster Mall: And Other Spooky Poems

(4) K-3 All Aboard Poetry Reader series. Illustrated by Adrian Sinnott. Five longish story poems concern a perpetually hungry skeleton, a werewolf baby born to human parents, and the plight of a feckless phantom in today's busy, noisy world. The poems are generally engaging (even when the meter occasionally falters) and have a comical quality shared by the amusing black-and-white illustrations.
