Editorial reviews
Richard and Judy Young collected the age-appropriate scary stories that they perform here. This audiobook includes classic American campfire stories like "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary", as well as spooky tales from other cultures such as "The Changeling", from Norway, and the Algonquin story "Skunee Wundee and the Stone Giant". The storytellers consulted with kids on what to include, and know how to narrate in a way that will thrill. Their goofy voices and over-the-top delivery ensure that the laughs come as frequently as the frights.
