This light-hearted rhyming story is illustrated in a simple comic book style. It features a familiar cast of creepy creatures, and shows how our imaginations can get overactive in the dark. Kids will love joining in with the refrain after each of Grandma's spooky story verses — it starts with a blood-curdling scream! The book can be enjoyed by pre-schoolers and older children around campfires in the summer, on sleepovers, during Halloween season, or on any dark night.

Four young cousins are staying at their grandparent's house on a stormy night when a lightning strike causes a power cut and plunges the house into darkness. Grandma mischievously entertains the grandkids with some absurd spooky stories. In the darkness, imaginations start working overtime! Speech bubbles show what each cousin is thinking. Can Grandma's spooky stories really be true?

Thankfully, Grandad arrives with a treat, and has heard Grandma's outrageous stories before. He knows all about the power of our imaginations, and is able to calm everyone down before bedtime.
