A wee bit gory ghost story that requires a strong stomach. Recommended rdg. level 4-8 yrs., but thinking 2-3rd graders with a love of RL Stein might really appreciate it.

This book terrified me when I read it as a child. The story involves the main character breaking off a dead man's feet, letting his cow chew on them, and the footless ghost coming after him (repeating the mantra 'cold feet'). If your child enjoys scary books, this might be fine for them; otherwise, I'd strongly recommend against it.

So creepy!!

So creepy!!

It may not be that this was a bad book...it was that I poorly selected it to read to my 3 year old. Dead man in the woods who gets his feet and shoes ripped off...not so uplifting before bed :)
