Book Description
for In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories by Alvin Schwartz and Dirk Zimmer
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Seven short horror stories for beginning readers are illustrated in full color. A brief introduction explains why most of us like scary stories and offers advice on how to make the stories scarier: tell them s-l-o-w-l-y in the dark. These stories come from traditional sources which are documented on the final page. (Ages 7-9)
