A Not So Scary Story

The two mice from A Delicious Story are back, exploring the thrills and chills of a scary story in this delightful light-hearted read-aloud picture book sequel--perfect for ages 3-6 at Halloween. “I DIDN’T KNOW ANYONE LIKED BEING SCARED!” Little Mouse says to Big Mouse. After Big Mouse eats the story in A Delicious Story, he and his sidekick are back, and Big Mouse finally tells a story--and this time it’s going to be a scary one! The mice have woken up in the dark, and Little Mouse can’t get back to sleep! So what’s better than telling a scary story? But it turns out that Little Mouse doesn't like being scared and he didn’t know anyone did! Now what? Soon Little Mouse joins in the storytelling, trying to lighten the scary bits of Big Mouse’s tale. Maybe that way, the story will feel not-so-scary! Barney Saltzberg reunites the two mouse pals in this charming follow-up to A Delicious Story. With witty back and forth between the mice–and a cameo from one particular colorful creature. Parents and children will laugh out loud at this new and exciting (but not-so-scary!) story within a story.
