Another Mercer Mayer book that all my kids enjoyed. My 6 yr old just adores Mayer and requests her books constantly. I read them at the breakfast or lunch table and even my 3 yr old twins get into them. We love trying to find the mouse and spider that seems to follow the main character around, they’re always doing silly things. Fun engaging themes that any child can relate to, a great addition to any children's library.

I love the illustrations!

I'm not into scary things - and definitely not in to reading books about monsters eating children or children being taking by monsters and never found again. With so many other great books to read by many authors including Mercer Mayer, this is one I would skip.

Brother has him and his brother sleep outside. Who is the scaredy cat?

[Siskiyou-Suzy · Rating 1 out of 5]

I actually don't like this one very much. There isn't really a rhyme or reason to the story much, just about children sleeping outside and one brother being kinda a jerk but not in a terrible way and eh.

My son loves this slighty scary, mostly funny story. I love it, too!

[Christine Levinge · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is cute and a fun read. It is great because it builds up suspense and the children can guess what is about to happen.
