The Too-Scary Story

(2) K-3 It's bedtime, which means storytime for big sister Grace and little brother Walter. "Make it a scary story," Grace says to Papa. When the narrative gets a little too scary, even for Grace, the siblings rewardingly team up to fight their mutual fears. Murguia's mixed-media illustrations reflect the shifting creepiness factor. The text uses different fonts to easily differentiate between the main dialogue-only narrative and Papa's story.
