The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything: A Halloween Book for Kids Paperback – Picture Book, July 23, 2019

My 3 year old loved this book from daycare. He basically had it memorized. He is thrilled to have his own copy. The story is cute and had a surprise ending. We like it!

"The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything" is a Halloween favorite in my house. My daughter asks for us to read this book all the time.The premise is that a little old lady travels into the woods to gather supplies. On her way home, she comes across an assortment of things that try to scare her. This includes boots, pants, gloves, and pumpkin head. Each item has a fun interactive component, like clapping, wiggling, shaking, and saying boo. In the end, the parts come together as a scarecrow and scare the crows away.This is a great book for young kids. It has a fun art style, interactive parts, a Halloween theme, and shouldn't be scary for most kids. Highly recommended if you are looking for an enjoyable but not too spooky Halloween book.

This is a great October read for kids 2 and up! An out loud read is a must. No witches or monsters. Love it. Purchased for a 2+ grandchild by a retired kindergarten teacher.

Not afraid of anything? Just that kids forget how to read and always only play with electric devices! This book is fun to read and have child read to you!

Great fun. Involves the children. Helps teach sequences

Love all the Old Lady books

ISBN 0064431835 - Printed in the U.S.A.. Paperback, 29 pages. By Linda Williams, illustrated by Megan Lloyd. Published by HarperCollins in 1986. Marked for ages 3 to 7.A brave little old lady, walking home through the woods, is confronted by two shoes. She informs the shoes that they don't scare her and continues on, with the shoes following behind. When she meets up with pants, a shirt, gloves and a hat, and, finally, with a pumpkin head, she repeats herself, but she does walk a bit faster after each meeting. Closing the door at home behind her doesn't end things, as the set of clothes comes knocking. The clothing, particularly the pumpkin head, are very sad that they're unable to frighten the lady, but she has a wonderful idea that gets everyone's approval.This isn't, exactly, a Halloween book. The carved pumpkin head gives it that appearance, and the fact that it's a scary, tense, story, adds to that impression, but more than Halloween, this is an AUTUMN book. It is perfect for those days when the sun sets early and there's a little hint of coming frost in the air - as long as your young reader isn't easily scared! While the idea of being followed around by clothes is mildly amusing to me, as an adult, it'll be your call for your kid, whether or not he/she is likely to enjoy a little scare. The ending, good for a laugh, takes the sting out of the scary lead-up, if knowing that helps you decide.The text is very good. The following that the little old lady accumulates grows and becomes more ominous and the text conveys that very well, building the tension as the reader roots for the little old lady to escape the menacing laundry pile behind her. The illustrations, set in boxes on each page, are smaller - sometimes much smaller - than they needed to be, or even should have been. This is a perfect book for full page and two-page spreads overflowing with detail. For that type of imagery, see Halloween Night instead. The illustrations are my only complaint, however. This is a really good, slightly scary story for young and beginning readers who will probably prefer having a comforting adult do the reading - it is four solid stars good, it's just not five wow stars great.- AnnaLovesBooks

Love a sweet solution at the end of a scare.
