From School Library Journal
ea. vol: illus. by Moira Kemp. unpaged. CIP. (Creepies Series). Barrons. 1988. Tr $8.95. Grade 1-3-- Both of these beginning readers evoke the perverse delight that children in bed take in imagining the scary things just waiting to pop out of the dark. The boy in The Flat Man knows that the tapping on the window is just a branch, but he likes "to pretend it's The Flat Man trying to get in. . . . 'You can't keep me out,' he whispers." In Scare Yourself to Sleep , two cousins challenge each other's nerve with stories of the Garbage Goblins, the Flying Cat, and the Tree Creeper. Both books are brief, somewhat choppy, and use repetition to create a spooky effect. Kemp's full-color illustrations are rich and add immeasurably to the stories' impact. Her creatures and monsters are decidedly creepy yet reassuringly humorous. Children will enjoy these vicarious thrills (although some may find them too scary). They can also be used as good short read-alouds for the Halloween season. --Anne Connor, Los Angeles Public Library

From Publishers Weekly
Children of a certain age love to scare themselves, and these two titles from the new Creepies series attempt to exploit that passion. Each first-person narrative enumerates scary things that the child imagines in the darkvarious monsters which are engagingly (and frighteningly) illustrated. The well-designed pictures are, in fact, more intriguing than the repetitive, overstated texts. In fact, these books read more like a catalogue of creepies than satisfyingly scary stories. Readers may prefer such solid collections as Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark or Jack Prelutsky's haunting poems in Nightmares: Poems to Trouble Your Sleep. Ages 6-8.
