SuitabookTell Me a Scary Story...But Not Too Scary!
Carl Reiner
- Reading
- Try reading together and use the page-turn pauses to check whether the listener wants to continue. The accompanying CD adds spooky sound effects and a comic performance.
- Themes
- Choosing whether to continue: The storyteller pauses as the boy’s tale grows spookier and asks whether to turn the page. The pauses make a reader’s choice to continue part of the book’s format.
- Worth knowing
- The story is designed to become progressively spookier and includes a creature approaching down basement stairs. How frightening the full story feels is not clear.
