About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts expressing a curiosity about things that go bump in the night or shows an interest in 'scary' stories but still needs the safety of a structured, early-reader format. It is perfect for children who are testing their own boundaries of bravery and want to explore the mystery of the supernatural without being truly overwhelmed. This Usborne collection features three short stories about haunted houses, blending classic gothic elements like moving suits of armor and mysterious sounds with accessible language. The book balances mild suspense with a sense of wonder and historical curiosity. Parents will appreciate it as a bridge for 'big kids' who are moving away from picture books into independent chapter reading, using a familiar spooky trope to build confidence and vocabulary in a controlled, age-appropriate environment.
