Grace wants Papa to tell her a scary bedtime story… but her little brother Walter doesn’t want it to be TOO scary! So as Papa invents the story of two children out for a walk in the woods, Grace and Walter take turns correcting him. But when darkness falls, a shadow looms, and footsteps follow the children all the way home, will the siblings triumph over the too-scary story?
Why I like this book: Too-Scary Story is about children becoming scared by their story but realizing they can change the story to make it less scary. There are a lot of “spooky” things in the story but the kids discover they’re ordinary, unscary things.
