Seller's Description:
Marc Brown color illustrations. New. No Jacket Issued. Book CONDITION: NEW 1994 Little, Brown large paperback, first PB edition, first printing. Tons of horrible, funny, gruesome (not really) color illustrations by the Author. Stories in Rhyme. CONTENT: OK, my favorite is "How to Scare Your Friends" which tells you eyeballs-use peeled grapes; fingers? use green beans, etc. An illustrated collection of spooky stories, poems, and riddles including a humorous array of ghosts, monsters, ghouls, and witches. Reviewer: " This is an excellent collection of poems and rhymes edited and illustrated by that friendly aardvark Arthur's creator Marc Brown. The drawings are in the same style as the Arthur stories and some of Arthur's friends even make appearances lightening the mood even more from scary to silly. The ominous looking but genial Binky Barnes stars in an especially cute poem. My favorite nightmare defeating rhyme "The Adventures of Isabel" by Ogden Nash is included and makes a great read aloud as does the entire book."
