This is a great scary story for immature kids. It's about facing your fears and realizing it's not as scary as y'all idea it was. The little old lady keeps running into items of clothing. Some gent is missing a lot of garments out there. Shoes, pants, shirt, and gloves, all moving on their own. A pumpkin caput tries to scare her, but she figures out what to practice with them. It's a uncomplicated story that builds suspense for the younger ones. I like how the niggling old lady says 'I'g not agape of you, become out of my way' to each thing that happens to her. We know she is a piffling scared as she is walking faster, but she keeps going.
The nephew said that he wasn't scared at all. It's interesting how these simple suspenses work on the heed. The nephew idea information technology was a fun story overall and he gave this 3 stars.

A not besides scary Halloween tale! A petty old lady goes for a walk and meets several pieces of article of clothing floating along. When the clothing joins forces with a carved pumpkin head she finds a novel use for them. Although the illustrations aren't in a way I particularly love I can see this would be a very nice volume to read with children. I accept a vague memory of a Halloween story with some dress floating along and then I recall I might have read this as a child. An enjoyable read for this time of year.

Impressive and enthralling at numerous levels, Linda Williams & Megan Lloyd created "The Little Old Lady Who Was Non Afraid Of Anything" in 1986. I am elated to have discovered it! It'south brevity does not diminish 1 iota of its layered, tickling impact. At first, ane is tempted to adjure Megan's tremendously attractive illustrations to this book's spark but Linda's storytelling thrills me just as much.A nature adult female like me, gathers herbs on foot at a altitude from habitation. She has a contented life but knows her woods can be spooky, so she hastens to avoid traversing them by night. This story is about a walk extending to nightfall. It is inanimate characters, as frightening in their aliveness every bit they are goofy in of themselves, that pop out to scare her. Boots, a shirt, pants, and even a jack-o-lantern should non be floating after her. The impossibility of these items giving hunt to the woman has a built-in terror just of course, readers know their worst won't get too scary. These goofy items manage to be i-hundred percent startling, on a night walk that she has to terminate but she is bravely determined to shoo them abroad.
I cannot adequately express how hilariously her utterances struck me! Likely, Linda's easy words are built to teach vocabulary simultaneously. For adults, their result is the funniest, well-nigh zany dialogue we have ever heard. I laughed joyfully upon every page! If there appeared ii shoes, she specified verbatim: "Get out of my style, yous two shoes"! Megan's art is a curiosity: exquisitely detailed with hearthrugs, apparel flapping on a line, confront expressions, and vibrantly bright environs. She besides succeeds superbly and emotively at exuding soft, rich, spooky darkness in fulfillment of a purple, atmospheric ambiance. I love and bask each lush page!

This is a slightly watered downwardly version of a story which I've heard or read before -- an one-time adult female is followed home past one animated garment later another. In the tale I'm familiar with they gradually assemble into a full, presumably ghostly, figure; here they just sort of hang out together and jerk. In the illustrations they are clearly disparate. Perhaps this was intended to make the story less scary. If so it was successful.

Maybe this was intended to make the story less scary. If and so it was successful. Possibly a dainty Halloween read for less bold children who need a not-too-tense tale with an unfazed protagonist. The illustrations are pleasant and colorful, although not particularly memorable.

My two daughters LOVE this book! At that place were plenty of places for me to brand noises and voices which engage them and help them to interact with the story which is platonic for a 2.v and four yr old who is only starting to read herself. We have read it several times each day and I am sure will go along through the fall. My daughters will be anticipating taking it out again next twelvemonth.

Merely, it's a delightful story. I beloved its cumulative nature, the sound furnishings, and the clever conclusion. It'south a perfect read aloud book, but independent readers will relish information technology likewise.
The illustrations are terrific also. There'south then much to look at, and they reflect both the humorous and frightening aspects of the story.

I would have LOVED this story when I was little!!! All the sounds and the cumulative nature of the tale... it'd make a keen read-aloud.

On those days, wouldn't information technology be fun if we dig out our copy of The Little Sometime Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Annihilation, and be reminded that BOO! Goes both ways. In this classic tale, a picayune erstwhile lady resolved not to be afraid of annihilation. As she walked deeper into the woods to collect herbs and whatnot that picayune former ladies collect while alone in a spooky forest full of shadowy apparitions that lurk at night, of grade she met with stranger things. I shan't tell you lot what they were except to whisper that they were discombobulating, spectral and you would most certainly convulse in your boots. At one time brave and terror-strickened, but never afraid, the little old lady confronted the moon lit visage and tell information technology to "F___ off" in more polite form. She faced her fear straight-on and put it in its place, quite literally in the backyard, where it was always within sight but never inside reach.

Ah, yep, and also very suitable for children 1 yr old and up. Life's lessons must be instilled from young! A
lesson story presented in decent illustrations with cutesy graphics and tricky words that one can sing and boogie to (or less embarrassingly, played with a YouTube video as accompaniment).

"The Piffling Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Annihilation" may take a dauntless protagonist and cute illustrations, but the story might not be artistic enough for some children.Even though I gave this volume a rating of three stars, at that place were some elements that I liked well-nigh the book. Linda Williams has washed a great job at providing the states a protagonist (an old lady) that does not fear anything no matter how scary the situation is and that was a trait that I really liked almost the character since nearly children might really learn how to be dauntless in scary situations from the onetime lady. Another aspect that I loved about this book was Megan Lloyd'southward beautiful illustrations, specially of the image of the old lady herself. I loved the way that Megan Lloyd illustrated the onetime lady wearing a red dress with a white apron and a straw hat and black stockings with blackness shoes. I also loved the images of the clothes which include two brown shoes, one pair of greenish pants, 1 white shirt, 2 white gloves, one black hat and an orangish pumpkin, chasing the old lady through the spooky wood. Another image that I really enjoyed was the mode that the wood looked as it truly looks extremely chilling and the tree branches expect like they are twisting themselves to grab the quondam lady.
Now hither is the reason why I gave this volume a rating of 3 stars. I thought that the concept of a pack of magical clothes post-obit an quondam lady was cute and not also scary for smaller children, nonetheless, the idea of but ordinary magical wearing apparel following a little sometime lady seems to be lacking inventiveness and not creepy enough, only that's just me.
All in all, "The Little Old Lady Who Was Non Agape of Anything" does have cute illustrations and a brave protagonist that everyone will adore a lot, yet they bland storyline might not be every child's loving cup of tea to read.
