About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning from being read to toward independent reading and needs a high-success, low-stress bridge. It is perfect for the child who is fascinated by spooky themes like ghosts and monsters but might still be a bit intimidated by longer, darker chapter books. This collection uses the predictable structure of riddles to turn scary concepts into punchlines, helping children reclaim power over things that go bump in the night. Beyond the humor, this Level 3 reader builds essential literacy skills through wordplay, puns, and double meanings. It encourages creative thinking and vocabulary expansion as children learn to navigate the linguistic twists required to solve each riddle. It is an excellent choice for keeping a reluctant reader engaged during the Halloween season or anytime they want a quick, rewarding win with a book that feels slightly edgy but remains entirely safe and lighthearted.
