Reach for this book when your child is oscillating between curiosity about 'scary' things and a need for the security of control. It is an ideal bridge for the child who wants to explore ghosts and monsters but feels overwhelmed by traditional spooky stories. By using an interactive pop-up format, the book transforms potential fears into a tactile, mechanical adventure where the child is the master of the environment. Set in the mysterious Howling Hall, the book invites readers to investigate rumors of hauntings through intricate paper engineering. It emphasizes bravery through exploration and wonder through its 'how-did-they-do-that' construction. While the imagery leans into classic horror tropes, the playful nature of the pop-ups ensures the experience remains lighthearted and safe for children ages 5 to 9. It is a fantastic tool for building confidence in the face of the unknown.
