Customer Reviews

Beautiful book for kids who love spooky stories

This book is just the right level of spooky folktale, and the art is really gorgeous. I read it to a four year old and a nine year old at the same time and they both loved it. As an adult, it’s fun to read out loud and I can appreciate some of the deeper themes that are subtle throughout the story. We really love this book!
