This is a great book for young readers! A little halloween fun for your very first grader. Simple short stories that they may even be able to read by themselves. A little scary, but they won't want to put it down.

You have to think twice before reading this book to small children (5 or under). It came in a box of books that we bought at a garage sale. My son (5 year old) brought it to me, and I saw that it was for 1st thru 3rd graders, so I thought it would be safe. After the very first 2 stories, which were kinda corny and ended abruptly, I made my way to the subsequent one, "the Green Scarf". The way the story ends with decapitation is way beyond what a 5 year old should have to comprehend. Now my son is scared to grow old and die, and wants to know how far heaven is,a nd alot of other "life questions" that I was not prepared to answer at bedtime. Needless to say, there is an extra lump in my bed now as my son refuses to sleep alone. Great book? Maybe...but not for the little ones.

I very first read this book when I was eight years old. I still remember the day that I checked it out of the school library. I couldn't wait to get home from school to read it.
I'm twenty-one now and this very book was one of the reasons I wanted/became a writer. My personal favorite of the stories is, The Green Ribbon. And to anyone that is considering buying this for their children or just to relive childhood memories, like me, then I suggest that you buy it. Each story is great in their own way and I highly recommend this book.
Now, for those parents out there that believe that these stories will scare their child or give them nightmares, I say, please let your children experience things in life. Or at the very least know your children enough to know if they have the mentality to read these stories.
Every child is different and I have come to find out that children are great judges of things. They'll tell you when something is a little too intense for them or not. Although, my wife and I do not have children yet. She and I will defintely allow them read this book and all the other books that we read as children.

I remember reading this book in the 1st grade. I loved it! My favorite story was/is The Green Ribbon. The other stories are pretty spooky too! If you have a child that loves scary stories, then they'll love this!!!

This book, and the other books by Alvin Schwartz, are some of the most if not THE most memorable books of my entire life. Theres something special about a book if you read it over and over and remember the stories well into your adult life. The way the stories are told is magical, I mean here's this intensly horrifying situation, but the way its worded so simply and easily has a sort of strange feeling to the whole story. this is what keeps me reading this book. i remember in our library in grade school, i would just go straight to these books and just read them right there on the spot and go back to class. I cant really describe the way THE GREEN RIBBON makes me feel, its a very strange, scary, tingly, wondering, warm feeling. not many stories told so simply can do that. MAGICAL.
