Bogeyman 101: A Guide to Bogeymen Around the World

By Karen Hokanson Miller

Every culture tells stories of bogeymen. Though they come in many forms and are called by many names, these are the creatures that lurk in the shadows to leap out and terrify unsuspecting children. Frightening and mysterious, tales of these creatures have been tingling our spines since time immemorial. In Bogeyman 101: A Guide to Bogeymen around the World , young readers are given a fun primer on some of the world's biggest things that go bump in the night. This book introduces you to seven bogies, each one with its own chapter. Readers are treated to a brief story, along with a discussion of the folklore behind the creature. Even reluctant readers will enjoy delving into the statistics and attributes of these chilling monsters, particularly when the all-important question comes up: "How do you protect yourself against the bogeyman?" From the Scandinavian troll to the Jamaican duppy, each bogey serves as a fascinating window into the unique attributes of the country it represents. It's a great way to engage elementary and middle-school children while teaching them about the different cultures of the world!
