The Little Old Lady who was not Afraid of Anything

Yesterday my daughter called me from the school she works in and said, "Blog the Little Old Lady who was not Afraid of Anything!" 
What brought this book to mind? I have no idea. If it was read to her students, however, I wish I could have been there. Since her students depend on sign language, reading it out loud was probably a visual delight!
The Little Old Lady <et al> is a story about a little old lady who lives in the woods. One day, she goes for a walk in the woods to look for herbs, spices, nuts an seeds. As she was walking home she heard a sound behind her and turned to look.  Behind her was a pair of boots that clomp clomped behind her. The old lady is not afraid and continues on her way home. But bit by bit, a gathering in the form of clothing, each making various noises follows the little old lady home.  The little old lady gradually becomes unnerved and when a pumpkin head yells "BOO BOO!"  the little old lady doesn't stop to argue but runs home as quickly as she can.
When she gets home her feelings of safety are short lived, as she hears a knock at the door. She answers it to find all the clothing and the pumpkin head on her doorstep. When she asks what they want they reply they want to scare her, but she replies she is not afraid of anything.  Suddenly unhappy, the pumpkin explains that he has to scare someone.  That is when the little old lady comes up with an idea that makes everybody happy.
This is a great book for the preschool to second grade set. If you read it like I used to with my children, the kids will love it as they clomp, wiggle and shake their way through the book.
The very best part is the book is that it is not too scary for the little ones. Just scary enough to give them a thrill. It is a fun Halloween book and one that your kids will enjoy for a long time.
So if you are looking for an enjoyable book to read to your little ones, you won't find one much better than "The Little Old Lady who was not Afraid of Anything".
