The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams
illustrated by Megan Lloyd
This would be a great children's book to read around Halloween time because it tells the fun story a a little old lady who was not afraid of anything... or so she thought. One windy night while walking through the woods, she hears a CLOMP CLOMP of feet. The story continues on as she has the scare of the night. Ultimately comes the happy and creative ending that keeps this book from becoming too scary for young readers. This story would be a fun one to read aloud to build suspense and to really give the sound effects or it would be also great to act out or create activities around. This story also carries the underlying message of bravery and the truth about controlling your own feelings as much as you can. The illustrations on this book are decent, but they appear slightly outdated. Overall I think this book would be a great one to bring out into the classroom around Halloween time.
Intended Age 5-7
