The incomparable Carl Reiner’s first children’s book Tell Me a Scary Story, was a hit when it appeared in 2003. Here at last is the sequel, complete with a read-along CD filled with even more of the scary stuff children love—odd beams of light coming from nowhere, oodles of goopy goo, memorable characters, and mysteries for kids to solve…if they dare. As the story becomes scarier, Reiner pauses to ask readers, “Shall we turn the page, or is it too scary?” That’s for kids to decide! Here’s a fun book with delicious thrills that children will ask for again and again.
