Product Description
by Tony Johnston (Author), Tomie dePaola (Illustrator)
First published in 1978, this perfectly spooky picture book with illustrations by beloved and award-winning Tomie dePaola compiles four spine-tingling tales as told by little monsters.
One dark night three little things--an imp, a goblin, and a scalawag--get together to tell the scariest stories they can think of. They are brash and brave as they argue over who should go next, and each one tries to make his story the scariest. When they finish, they realize someone was listening...and that may be the scariest thing of all.Author Biography
