A parent should reach for this book when the lights go out and the shadows start looking a little too much like monsters. It is the perfect antidote for the 'bumps in the night' phase, using humor and wit to strip the power away from common childhood phobias. By turning ghosts, witches, and ghouls into figures of fun, children learn that they can control their fear through perspective and laughter. Marc Brown has curated a delightful variety of poems, riddles, and short stories that cater to the elementary school imagination. The collection balances the thrill of being scared with the safety of a punchline, making it an excellent bridge for children who are curious about spooky themes but easily overwhelmed by darker imagery. It is a warm, silly hug of a book that transforms the bedroom from a place of anxiety into a theater for the imagination.
