This is a good value for 3 stories. I only wish I would have known in advance which stories were included because unfortunately, we already had all three! I took a chance based on the publisher's vague description hoping these stories were new to us. I guess I'll keep the book for when we are traveling or gift it to a friend.

For reference, here are the stories included:
A Day at the Airport
A Day at the Fire Station
A Day at the Police Station

Like most of Richard Scarry's stories, these are entertaining and fun for kids and adults. The colorful illustrations are especially great for finding unusual and often, silly details!

Huge Todd Parr fan over here! He helps us not take it all so seriously. The kids go ga ga over the illustrations and his humorous lines he sneaks in. Like this one....Sometimes I'm scared to go shopping for new underwear. I'm not scared when I wear them on my head. How funny and random is that?! Of course the kids laugh and laugh. If I'm going to tackle a feeling like being scared it's nice to be able to pull a Todd Parr book of my shelf. I like how each scared statement he writes has a positive solution accompanying it. Be prepared to have your kids ask you to read this one over and over. Ask them to come up with a scared feeling, but don't forget to have them also add in the positive solution to the fear. Good stuff!

It's sad that there are so few choices for youngsters to get scared that I feel bad for them.  As a child, I loved scary stories and shows such as Dark Shadows to scare me mildly but hardly damage me forever.  This is a nice fun book of scary stories for kids which doesn't mean they are that scary but enough to be fun for kids to enjoy.  Love it!

I love folklore and ghost stories. America definitely has its share of interesting, spooky tales. From the disappearance of colonists from Roanoke Island to strange tales of the Old West, there is no shortage of creepy-cool American folklore. Patricia Edwards Clyne gathers some very interesting stories, all featuring spectral animals, in her book Ghostly Animals of America.

All 19 stories in this book are well-written, interesting and obviously well researched. I enjoyed each one! The author also includes information on where the places and events occurred and how to learn more about the story. The author is careful to mention when places, homes, locations are private property or public park land. The stories are presented not as horror tales but as folklore. There is nothing too scary or graphic for middle-grade aged children. Children and adults alike will enjoy these tales of legendary animal hauntings. The stories are varied with locations ranging all over the United States.

I could definitely see this book incorporated into lesson plans for United States history, geography or even creative writing. Kids would enjoy the stories and learn a little bit about different areas of the country and folklore.

A fun read! I recommend this for anyone 10 & up who enjoys folktales with a bit of a spooky edge to them!

Patricia Edwards Clyne has written several books for middle-grade age children on caving, history and the Hudson Valley region of NY state.

This wonderful collection of stories offers something for everyone. The various authors use vivid descriptions, clever dialogue, thought provoking situations, to introduce you you to a variety of scary "things" that leave you wanting to sleep with the lights on. These are not just traditional ghost stories. There are unexpected twist, creepy creatures, time travel, happy moments, sad moments and things that defy description. They will make you reconsider that walk in the woods alone. I would recommend this book to anyone.

This was one of the best ghost books I have ever read! It has all the ghost stories that are so good, and also really cool history in short, easy to understand bites. The trivia is interesting and the ghost-hunts are really good, where the author makes fun of himself. This book got my sons interested in history, and that is priceless!

The ghost stories in this collection are spooky indeed! This book is a fast read, with great illustrations and stories! My favorite story was, 'At the Sign of the Sir Charles', which has a trick ending!
Some of the stories are scary, some eerie, and some of them made me laugh. This book would be great to take camping -- the stories are perfect for reading around a campfire.

Awesome spooky fun. I hope a new coloring book of ghostly delight is in development! The pictures each represent one of the many weird or wonderful True Ghost Stories wrangled up and presented in Jim Harold's  amazing book series. Although the stories are creepy, the artwork is great and the book is very soothing to indulge.

The Annoying Ghost kid is an engaging read for kids with a great message! My nephews ages 7 and 10 loved it, and are still talking enthusiastically about the story.

This story was a big hit with my Hallowen obsessed 4yo. The rhyming story follows the same format as that of 'ten little indians' and tells the story of ten timid ghosts who are one by one scared out of their house by a nasty witch. On each page, the witch wears a different disguise to sneak up on the ghosts.  My son likes finding the hiding ghosts on every page.  Illustrations are great.  This has definitely become one of our favorites this year.
