I love telling scary stories to my 3rd fourth and fifth graders and I rely heavily on stories from Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Series!!!! In the Attic works great to create "the scary" and The Big Toe and so much more

I book talk Betty Ren Wright's books Mary Hahn and John Bellairs and..... one cannot forget Cynthia DeFelice!!! ;-). Scary/humorous poetry also makes for a fun scary atmosphere: Eve Merriam's Halloween ABC and Calef Brown's Hallowilloween there is so much more I know I'm missing that I share with my students And oh, before I go....I must mention Ed Gorey's Ghastlycrumbtinies (sp?). If I have the right group of fifth or sixth graders I love to share the humor and the macabre of this book!!!! ;-)---- Many students actually "get" ---- Desiree Threadgill Library Media Specialist Beaver Creek Elementary School Pennsylvania
