When the Chenoo Howls

This is a great book for older children who love Alvin Schwartz's "Scary Stories to Read in the Dark." At my elementary school library scary stories are very popular and tales from this book have been well received at storytime. A fourth grade teacher reported that he was somewhat surprised at the content of the tales (they are very descriptive and sometimes quite bloody), but that his class was spellbound when he read the stories aloud. A sixth-grader told me this is "a very, very good book." Not for the squeamish. A good addition to folklore collections, but not for very young children.
