I enjoyed listening to this book being read-aloud to me by my music teacher. The first thing I like about it is the plot. The story is designed to be read orally in order to scare the audience. The plot is extremely suspenseful and it builds up until the end. The story takes you through a haunted house. The second thing I liked was the illustrations. After moving through the haunted house, the last page jump-scares you with a pop-up illustration of a ghost. This pop-up picture paired with the reader screaming "BOO!" completes the book and leaves the audience scared and satisfied. The main idea of the book is to scare the reader/audience, which I think it successfully accomplished. ( )

This is a great book for beginning readers. It's both repetitive and interesting. As the book progresses the illustrations get closer and closer to a covert and it's contents. Thee illustrations alone can keep the reader engaged because they want to know what is so important about this object in the covert. And it's repetitive words and simple language use makes it easy for beginner readers to understand. ( )
