Velcome

By Kevin O'Malley

Book Overview

No rattling bones about it. There's never been a horror book like this one before. A madcap spoof on tales of terror, this clever meeting of broomsticks and slapstick, monsters and mischief is so... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Excellent

I was lucky enough to purchase this book for 25 cents at our public library's booksale over a year ago. I had never heard of or read it before. When I read it the first time to my daughter we both loved it. She still has me read this book to her most nights for betime. The book is so entertaining (especially if you do accents and sound effects), that one night while reading it to my daughter and nephew all the other adults in the house came over to see what all the excitement was about and ended up staying to hear the story.

fabulous

my kindergardener loves this book. We check it out of the library constantly! I like to read it too

Perfect for visiting 4th grade classes

I am a children's librarian and use Velcome with 4th graders. I am always amazed at how well the book works and at how it anticipates the audience response -- it helps if you read with a campy Transylvanian accent. There is no better book to read if you have visiting 4ths, especially around Halloween.

EXELLENT!

I HAVE READ THIS BOOK FOR STORY HOUR AT MY LIBRARY AND THE KIDS JUST LOVED IT! THERE WERE 350 SECOND THROUGH SIXTH GRADERS AND I HAD EVEN THE TEACHERS ROLLING WITH LAUGHTER! IT BECAME A VERY POPULAR-IN-DEMAND BOOK AT THE LIBRARY.

Very funny and entertaining for the 5 to 40ish group

This is a little like a Mad magazine yet for some little people this is the perfect book to show them the world of reading and stories. I read this to a 5 year old who has gone through trama and is not into to school. I enjoyed it and so did the child. This is a book he really got into laughing out loud and answering the questions "Were you scared?" "Stop reading if you are scared" For the right child, one with a sense of humor, this is a good book.
