Provides young readers with a spooky Halloween tale, complete glow-in-the-dark skeletons, ghosts, spiders, bats, and more. Original.

Tricks and treats abound in four books that are full of spooky, glow-in-the-dark surprises. Turn off the lights and ghosts, skeletons, bats, spiders, mummies and other creepy creatures glow brightly in the dark.

Children's author Carol Brendler and illustrator Greg Pizzoli's Not Very Scary follows a young monster as she makes her way to her friend's house for a Halloween party, despite the not very...slightly...okay, pretty scary creatures dogging her along the way. Melly is a brave little monster who is not afraid of anything. She loves surprises, and when her fun-loving cousin invites her over for a big surprise, Melly excitedly sets out for a visit. On her way, she notices skittish skeletons, a coal-black cat, and even ghoulish goblins following her. But Melly is not scared, no she's not! Well, maybe just a teensy bit . . .

‘A clever reworking of a classic story. The little old lady’s fearless attitude and her clever solution as to what to do with the lively shoes, pants, shirt and pumpkin head that are chasing her will enchant young audiences. With brilliantly colored, detailed folk art illustrations. A great purchase.’ —SLJ.
