Summary: After viewing scary things that might slither, slice, or slide their way out of a creepy black box, the reader is asked to lift the top to reveal its contents.
Review: Spoiler Alert! A great idea for storytime, similar to one of my favorites There’s A Monster at the End of this Book, but, unfortunately falls a little flat for me at the end. The story starts with a box at the door. What’s in the box? Maybe it’s a spooky box with spooky stuff in it. Could it be bats, spiders, or even snakes? Okay, so far so good, especially for a Halloween storytime. But when you get to the end of the book and you still don’t find out what was in the box, it was disappointing. You do get to use your imagination at the end to decide what you think is in the box and it could be a good discussion point in storytime.
