Reach for this book when your child is starting to explore the thrill of being scared within a safe, controlled environment. It is the perfect bridge for children who are curious about ghost stories but still need a cozy, humorous resolution to settle their nerves before bedtime. The story follows a tiny woman who finds a tiny bone, only to be followed home by a voice demanding its return. Through the repetition of the word teeny-tiny, the book builds a rhythmic suspense that culminates not in a fright, but in a spirited and funny outburst. It is a wonderful tool for teaching children that they can confront the things that go bump in the night with a bit of boldness and a sense of humor. The gentle folk-art illustrations by Tomie dePaola ensure that even the spookiest moments feel warm and manageable for preschoolers and early elementary students.
