About the book...

Everything is fun until nighttime comes. Are the howls in the dark only in their imaginations, or do ghosts and goblins become real when the full moon rises?

The children love visiting Grandmother. Playing great games and reading cool books goes perfectly with eating her delicious cookies and cakes. But when bedtime comes and off go the lights, things get a little scary as they say their goodnights.

The kids shiver at the creepy sounds from the attic and the strange shadows floating through the air. But Gran’s not worried at all; in fact, she has a secret to share…

Will they find a way to get over their dread, so they can finally rest their heads?

Grandma’s House is Haunted is a delightful children’s picture book, both spooky and sweet. If you like Halloween fun, bumps in the night, and doting grannies, then you’ll adore Stephen G. Bowling’s cheerfully eerie Picture Book that shows children there’s nothing to be afraid of when the lights go out.

I admit, I WAS GETTING A BIT SPOOKED 👻 because some of the figures portrayed are pretty CREEPY, but as the story progresses, Grandma is there to set things to right and dispel any questionable shadows, or creaks in the night!

It's a great tale to share with the kiddos BECAUSE of the creep factor, but also the way it's handled. The author allows the children to let their imaginations fly free, creating a story that's got all the elements readers look for...a great story, characters you want to know, and illustrations that really capture your eye 👁. You'll be pulled in to see all the ghosts, and goblins scattered about the house, both inside and out, including a particularly hairy fellow in a yellow raincoat, but not to worry, but book's end the truth of their presence will be revealed.

A great pick for wee readers and beyond! It's a story meant to shared, a tale meant to excite, rile up the nerves, but ultimately remind young ones that imaginations are wonderful things... just don't let them turn your fun into dread!
