Review
"In a dark, dark wood, / there was a dark, dark house" begins this well-known ghost story with its dramatic build-up and Eek!-producing finale. Paper engineer David A. Carter (Bugs in Space, The Elements of Pop-up) enhances the traditional tale with his own spooky paintings of the dark, dark house and its dark, dark mysteries along with a green ghost that pops up at the end. This story takes less than a minute to read aloud from cover to cover, so don't get too cozy. A good Halloween gift for kids who like to be just a tiny, tiny bit scared. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson
