October 26, 2009: I purchased this book as a Halloween treat for my 6 year old son. After reading it, I was upset to find that it contains stories that are not appropriate for a child that young. I was surprised since this was a level 1 I Can Read Book. I would not recommend this book.

June 24, 2009: ... of my elementary school years.
I'm glad I ran into this author on OnceUponAWin.com. Every now and then I remember a story I read/heard from back in the day, which turned out to be "The Green Ribbon". That was the only morbid story I can actually tolerate and laugh at, simultaneously.
