Scarum Fair

Tons of creepiness abounds in this book of poems that focuses on the Scarum Fair. Read about the attractions, the food, and the rides as the author teases, taunts and terrorizes her readers.

This would be a fun book to use for Halloween, but I would choose the poems ahead of time. Some a fairly dark and younger listeners/readers could freak out or have nightmares. :-)

I like how the book focuses on one setting, the fair, and provides lots of sensory language to make the reader feel like they are there.

Read with caution!
