interested in ghosts, skeletons,
pirates, and other things that
go bump in the night. Schwartz retells
these tales in a spooky yet humorous
way. The text, accompanied by Zimmer's
bright, animated illustrations bring
the
stories to life. Children will love to
tell these stories to their friends
again and again.
