The Scariest Book Ever

Reader beware! This is the scariest book ever! Or so claims its melodramatic ghost narrator. You can go ahead and turn the page, but don't expect him to come with you. Anything might pop out of that black hole in the middle of the forest. What do you mean it's just a bunny? Well, it's probably a bunny with big fangs. Watch out, it's -- picking pumpkins with its friends, you say? Actually, despite the ghost's scare-mongering, none of the animal characters in the illustrations seem scary at all. . . . What's up with that? Many delights, such as surprises after the page turn, an alarmist narrator, and punch lines to anticipate make this book a scream for both kids and parents.

#ad Picture yourself on campus! A college degree i #ad Picture yourself on campus! A college degree is not out of reach. If you have a dream, you can make it happen. I know from experience. I could not have gotten my degree without loans, grants, and scholarships. It all starts with completing your #FAFSA. And, don't think you make too much money to receive aid. Most people who complete the FAFSA receive some kind of aid! The sooner you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, the better. Some states offer aid on a first come, first served basis.
