I have read most of Stephen Kings books and this children’s book was totally scary. It creeped me out. We did not let the niece read this, but we decided to give it a try with the nephew and he got scared half-way through and we quit. It is one scary children’s book. Know you kids. This is for the older kids.
First off, the old man in the story is creepy alone and by himself. He likes to take things not his. Then the monster is scary and this guy is all alone. This is a folk tale told in parts of the south apparently. The art is also dark and ominous. I know there are kids out there who would love this book. I did enjoy the scare of it and this is a horror story for kids. The lesson is don't take other people's things or thieve because you will pay for it.
I certainly will not dig up any hairy toes, let me tell you right now. If you want a good scare, give this a try. It will do it this Halloween.
