I’m not afraid of this review… This is such a cute story, but could be a tad bit scary for the younger crowd. A great read to do art work with.
Such Fun!

My 3 year old always asks to read this book! It’s a good pace, good length, with nice pictures too. I think it’s great for toddlers but could probably work for much older kids as well.
Great book

This is a great, repetitive story for young children. They love the sounds and being able to predict what happens next.

My 3 year old loves this story. It is just the right amount of spooky. The book is about a woman who runs into haunted clothing in the woods and each piece of clothes makes a sound, like tapping. My child loves to make the sounds with the book. It is a lot of fun for us to read it together.
