Reviews

Praise for Mary McScary: "[A] trove of ideas for mischief-making young readers." --Kirkus ReviewsPraise for The Little Shop of Monsters: "Frightfully funny. Children will scream for repeated visits to The Little Shop of Monsters." -- School Library Journal"Readers are sure to visit this shop again and again for its fantastical creatures and its slightly sinister tone." -- Kirkus"Readers looking for friendly, cuddly monsters should shop elsewhere-as Stine ominously reminds readers, 'When you come to the Little Shop of Monsters, you don't choose a monster... a monster chooses YOU!'" -- Publishers Weekly
