A Book Not Just For Halloween: "2 Pleasantly Scary Stories For Children" by Winifred Parker

Winifred Parker enjoyed telling her grandchildren scary tales just as much as they enjoyed listening to them. 

In fact, her grandson, Vince, also asked her to tell him a story. His requests inspired Winifred to write, 2 Pleasantly Scary Stories For Children. And, to the delight of Vince and his sister Julia, Winifred made them characters in her book. 

2 Pleasantly Scary Stories For Children is a delightfully told and illustrated work that children age 6-11 would enjoy. 

In the first story, 8-year-old Julia O'Brien and her 14-year-old brother, Vince, walk their dog, Boomer, to a park not too far from their home. While enjoying their walk and meeting up with friends, Julia hears a cry for help. Julia, Vince, and others came to the aid of a boy found sitting along a path in the woods. The boy told the children:

Someone came up behind me; I was knocked down and then, hit on the head. When I tried to get up, I sprained my ankle. My dog, Harry, was with me. I have called him, but he has not come back yet. Harry has never run away before! said the boy. 

From here, the O'Brien children and two of their friends embark on an adventure on solving the mystery of missing dogs in their neighborhood.

In the second scary story, the O'Brien family takes a summer vacation to the Black Hills of South Dakota. While there, Julia and Vince investigate mysterious happenings at a cave.   
Both stories have adventures, clear messages about right and wrong, and valuable information about the Black Hills of South Dakota that both children, parents, and teachers will enjoy.

If you have grandchildren or know someone who does, 2 Pleasantly Scary Stories For Children by Winifred Parker may just be the book for them.
