In the great tradition of campfire tales, the Youngs have gone to the source, the kids themselves, and collected 23 favorites from around the country. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This book was excellent August 9, 2005I borrowed this book from my cousin's friend when I was ten years old in the fourth grade. Most of the stories was good, but I don't recommend this book to young readers. My favorite story is Bloody Mary. Because of that story, I couldn't sleep. I thought she was going to jump out the mirroir at midnight and kill me, and I start seeing her. Or it was my imagination. I know it wasn't. I do recommend this book for readers. Rating:  - Some Scary StoriesRichard and Judy Young, professional storytellers based at Silver Dollar City, Mo., collected the favorite scary stories of American children. The authors admonish tellers to tell these stories responsibly in the introduction. There is a table of contents, but the twenty-three stories are in no apparent order. The illustrations are simple ink drawings with blue accents. They are not integral to the stories. Most of the tales are American or European in origin and a few ...

The stories contained in this book fall so far short of said uneasiness that they seem to only encourage the already painful onslaught of boring children. Let us take our children seriously and follow through with a collection of scary stories that actually fulfills its promise of restless dreams. Rating:  - this book is not geared for American ChildrenWe have just begun camping with our children and I purchased this book for campfire stories. Unfortunately, I started reading one of the stories "Wham! Slam..." which the book said was geared to ages 7 and 8 (my audience). The story told of a witch who axed two children to death and then chased two others, killing 11 dogs with a swinging ax and knife. Luckily, she was killed by the 12th who jumped at ther throat. THe children who survived cut out her heart...etc. Not appropriate for most 17 year ... Read More Rating: - Just what I was looking forI have three children, ages 8-2. The oldest two enjoy me telling "scary" stories around the campfire. Some stories were just too scary to tell them. These are just right for their ages. Scary enough to make them huddle close, but not so scary that they have bad dreams or are too scared to go to the camper alone! The stories are also short enough that they can be committed to memory easily enough. Thank you!
