Now this book scared the bee-jeebies out of me! Caution,this book is full of creepy, scary, sad, monster and mystery filled stories that attack when you aren't looking. Just looking at the title and seeing the cover you hear alarms going off in your head. If you cant live without a good creepy tale, get this IMMEDIATLY!!!Be warned, cause the invasion starts at a bookstore near you!
It has many short stories that are either scary or gross. It is not horribly scary olny a little bit. And as far as gross goes if you dont like bugs, and thinking there crawling up your leg reader discresion is advised.
I think this is a good book. but not amazing theres olny about twenty so it will olny entertain for a little while. But it is not scary for me. But who knows it might be scary for you.
I recomend it for people 5-8 for it to be scary. I think it might scare...more

If you think about it, writing a horror book about one story might be difficult but writing a horror book with like 30 different story books is even more diffucult, because you need to think of more problems, endings, and monsters. "The Dead Won't Hurt You," about a kid who walks around a grave to see if anything hurts you, was one of my favorite stories. "Buzz off," about a boy who had bees all over him, was another one of my favorite tales. David Lubar's mind is filled with...more
My sixth grade students and I were introduced to David Lubar in the Guys Read: Funny Business anthology, and I picked this collection up this summer hoping to be able to use it in my teaching with the same group of kids--struggling but not necessarily reluctant readers. The stories in this book are perfect--a great readaloud or independent reading length, and almost every one begins with a great "What if?" concept...perfect fodder for writing prompts, high-level questioning, and overa...more
I didn't care for this book at all. I didn't think it would be that good but I told someone I would read whatever book they wanted me to. So I did read it I didn't enjoy it but at least it's done. This book has short little stories about dumb stuff, like people being changed into aliens, and worms taking over someone and taking them into the ground.
This book is about a bunch of diffrent stories that are creepy and wered and turn your stomach.
I liked this book it was good read but it wasnt the best book that i have ever read but i still really liked it.
I would reccomend this book to people who like weried and creepy tales.

this book is so mcuh fun. david and i had so much fun reading it. the stories were a good length to read together before bed. they were also very creative in the variations from story to story. i only gave it 4 stars because it has some of the same stories as the lawn weenies.
Reminiscent of Ray Bradbury or Stephen King, these silly, kinda creepy tales will delight and thrill you. And freak you out. Seriously, these stories take the strangest turns that you's never in a million years consider. Great for discussion and writing projects!
I thought "Invasion of the Road Weenies" was a very good book. I have a very warped mind, and some of these stories brought me to my limit! I couldn't belive how much I got into this book.
The subtitle reads "and Other Warped and Creepy Tales". Man, are these warped! Not too creepy, but I can't think of one that wasn't weird or demented in one way or another.
Hao Wei:This had many short stories and they were creepy or interesting.It's a little like "In the Land of the Lawn Weenies" but the stories were more scary.
There were a couple stories I really liked, "The Dead Won't Hurt You" and "A Tiny Little Piece" - read them to 6th grade classes for Halloween!
This is a good source of creepy short stories for the upper elementary crowd. A handful of them are really skin-crawling, like the kid being chased through the cemetary by a bad guy who says, "Run, run, run! It makes it more fun!" *shudder* But there are many I can read aloud to a class, like the big sister complaining about how her three-year old brother found the genie bottle before she could, and now he's wishing for weird things like peas when she would've been smart and wished for...more
this book along with it's other books in the series, can freak you out and yet make you laugh like crazy. it is a really good read.
Good book, they are scary stories but not really scary... just something to keep you entertained (seriously they aren't scary)
This book is creepy and weird.I dont recommend this book to anybody but if you like weird books this is for you
This book is really funny. Ihave read it and it made me bust out laughing. I reccomend this book to anyone.
A short rather stupid book of wierd stories. Boring, and very short and dumb. But some are rather funny.
this book to me was good it was not as good as i thught it would be but it was not horrible.
Excellent collection of short stores that are very suitable for class read-aloud. Stories range from silly to creepy. Especially enjoyed:
'Shaping the Fog' - children sneak out to play in the fog, making playthings and creatures. All is fun until the littlest one attempts to make one like himself.
'Wandering Stu' - deals with selfishness and introduces futility of bureaucracy.
'Lines' - On the way to a school assembly a girl decides to walk next to her friend instead of a single f...more
