LITERALLY DISTURBING: TALES TO KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT by Ben Winters with illustrations by Adam Watkins. Price Stern Sloan 2013.
Here is a collection of wonderfully, shivery poems to read to kids who love scary stories. Black cats, vampires, ghosts: all the usual suspects are here in rhyme, each poem taking up just one page with an accompanying black and white illustration. Use to teach tone, mood, rhyme, scan, etc.
