Book Description:
Do dark places bother you?
The space under your bed…
The closet, door slightly ajar…
Do you believe in the Boogey Man?
Who is he?
What does he want?
Maybe he has a story to tell,
And we should listen.
My Review:
Sir Stan The Bogeyman is a great read while teaching the lesson of watching your actions. It doesn't pay to be rude and spiteful, or to act like a spoiled brat. I thought the spell was the right consequence for his actions and teaches all children that there are reactions to their actions.
The illustrations were vivid and fit the storyline perfectly. I would recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a great children's book or even in need of that special gift for a special occasion.
