Title: I'm Afraid She was Just a Little Afraid
Product review: This is a 32-page picture book that is interestingly repetitive (yes, the students can join in in the telling) and unusual in the way it unfolds. I'm not so sure the lady was as brave as the title and she claimed, but she certainly was inventive in the end. The reader will probably say to him/herself, "Why didn't I see this ending coming?"The fact that the book is still in print after 25 years says a lot about the author's writing and storytelling. I might add: It's not necessarily a Halloween story just because of the pumpkin head.Suitable for grades K-3 (or for all who love picture books and folk tales).
