My Review:
Crafted with rhythmic verse and realistic paintings, Grandma's House Is Haunted is a captivating and comforting picture book that addresses young children's fear about darkness and all the creepy creatures as described in a typical Halloween story. The children are excited about their sleepover at Grandma's rustic mansion deep in the woods. There are so many fun foods to eat and fun things to do with Grandma. All is wonderful until the night falls. Strange sounds and suspicious shadows keep the kids wide awake. Luckily Grandma comes to their rescue and resolves the mystery.
Featuring numerous mythical and ghostly creatures in both its rhyming text and lively pictures, the book presents a mischievous but friendly side of what the children believe to be horrifying. A closer look at the creatures' facial expressions seems to suggest that no harm is meant to be done whether they exist in the real world or in someone's imagination. Grandma's explanation certainly helps ease the kids' mind and put them to sleep. Unveiling the possible sources of scary sounds and shadows may encourage young readers to be more adventurous and analytical. Moreover, they may get over their fear for the unknown and unfamiliar as they explore and investigate.
Benignly spooky and amusingly informative, it's the perfect bedtime story to read around Halloween!

Everything is fun until nighttime comes. Are the howls in the dark only in their imaginations, or do ghosts and goblins become real when the full moon rises?
The children love visiting Grandmother. Playing great games and reading cool books goes perfectly with eating her delicious cookies and cakes. But when bedtime comes and off go the lights, things get a little scary as they say their goodnights.
The kids shiver at the creepy sounds from the attic and the strange shadows floating through the air. But Gran’s not worried at all; in fact, she has a secret to share…
Will they find a way to get over their dread, so they can finally rest their heads?
Grandma’s House is Haunted is a delightful children’s picture book, both spooky and sweet. If you like Halloween fun, bumps in the night, and doting grannies, then you’ll adore Stephen G. Bowling’s cheerfully eerie Picture Book that shows children there’s nothing to be afraid of when the lights go out.
