1: INDELIBLE.
My mom read me this book when I was...5? I'm 30 years old now and I don't like to say the name of this book out loud. I'm not scared easily, but I think I have PTSD from this! You teachers and librarians who think this book with "no blood, no gore" is innocent fun are deluded. It's a good story, and it's horribly scary. Don't read to small kids!

2: An amusing bedtime story..
This was one of the first books I ever checked out of the library in elementary school and years later, it's story is still the same haunting, yet amusing, story. I would recommend this book to anyone who has young children and wants to campfire storytell or anything of that sort. The story has mild violence, all of which is up to the readers imagination. I can attest to losing sleep because of this book, coupled with an overactive 7 year olds imagination.

3: Tailypo haunts me....still
our evil harpie of an elementary school librarian scarred generations of children with this book. we've found some comfort in reading these customer reviews and to discover: we are not alone. the story, the art, it burns into your very soul. i will never ever ever EVER eat a Tailypo's tail!!!!!!!
p.s. how many of you traumatized adults are from BOONE, IOWA, PAGE SCHOOL ELEMENTARY '78-80?

4: entertained my children over 20 years ago.
I used to read this book to my 3 children over 20 years ago. They loved it! In fact, 2 years ago, my daughter found a copy of the book and gave it to me for Christmas so I could read it to my future grandchildren.

5: Excellent Children's Book!
This was one of our favorite books when I was growing up with my brother and sister in the late 70s. We used to make our mother check it out almost every single time we went to the public library. It might be a bit scary to kids who frighten easily, but at least to us it was the fun kind of scary. My fiance's son (now 9) agrees. It's very well written, suspensful and intrigueing, and definitely a campfire type of tale.
