Big, Spooky House

Grounded in the oral storytelling tradition, this riveting retelling of a traditional ghost story follows a big, strong man as he spends a night in a mysterious deserted mansion.

"Rogers creates spooky imagery with her use of gray tones and facial expressions. The main character is portrayed as an enormous, burly African American with a jaunty stride. A good read-aloud and discussion book, especially at Halloween."--School Library Journal
