David has done it again. A book of very short stories (short enough for the kids that hate to read or have very short attention spans) perfect for a quick bedtime story, while managing to pack a lot of information into a short space. I believe the longest story is 10 pages. Think about it, one book with 32 different stories! While this won’t come under the heading of “Great Literature” it will definitely work for a kid that has a problem sitting still to read in that the stories are short, concise and definitely fuel the imagination.
Warning though, they can be a little scary. Some of these ideas would have made a great full length horror tale. There are tales of Vampires, cheese (yes cheese!), video games, day care gone wrong, freak accidents, Ninja Weenies (of course), unusual revenge on bullies and many other subjects.
