STUFF THAT SCARES YOUR PANTS OFF!

GENERAL YA NONFICTION

G/A  Murphy, Glenn.  Stuff That Scares Your Pants Off!  Roaring Brook, 2011.  192p.  978-1-59643-633-6.  14.99.  Fears and frights are a part of all of our lives--some realistic and some imagined.  This is an enjoyable source for appreciating circumstances that trigger automatic reflexes which act as safety valves (i.e. quickly applying vehicle brakes).  Other scary experiences, however, can be figments of the imagination or the result of teasing.  Black and white drawings plus greenish pictures invite browsing.  Fun for sleep-overs and campfire circles.  E.M.
