Scary enough to entertain but without causing nightmares 5 out of 5 stars.

This is my 1st Grader's favorite book at the moment. He literally begs to read it every night! It's easy enough for the average 1st-2nd Grader to read with a little bit of help. The story is very entertaining and involves a younger child getting even with an older brother who is always trying to trick him out of his money. The illustrations are great and the story is long enough to be challenging to a child but short enough to be read by a parent in under 10 minutes. This book can be tremendously motivating to a child who loves scary stuff but generally dislikes reading. We also own and enjoy "CreepShow" which is part of the same series.A great book for a camping trip, slumber party or Halloween party!
Editorial Review:
Beginning readers will find just the right amount of funny thrills and chills in this easy-readers book featuring big type, simple sentences and full-color illustrations. Jake knows his big brother, Henry, is up to something when he pays to take Jake to see a movie called The Mummy's Gold. So when a mummy shows up and asks for all of Jake's money, he's sure it's just one of Henry's pranks--or is it? Full color.
