Catch up post time for #Scarathlon. I was reminded of one of the stories in this collection recently and actually read this one on Saturday. It was offered on Libby as an audio/ebook combo. Still a solid collection but I think I prefer the original illustrations. #BatBrigade #31by31 #Falling4Books #LittenListen #Rushathon #Spookoween #20in4 #FinalStretchReadathon #BookSpinBingo

“Most of us like scary stories because we like feeling scared. When there is no real danger, feeling scared is fun.“

The story The Green Ribbon which comes from Scary Stories to tell in the dark by Alvin Schwartz is actually based on a European folk motif. I loved this story as a kid because it scared me so much but I always wanted to read it again.

This book has seven short stories that are scary. The stories included are The Teeth, In The Graveyard, The Green Ribbon, In a Dark Dark Room, The Night it Rained, The Pirate, and The Ghost of John. My personal favorite is The Green Ribbon which is about a girl named Jenny who always wore a green ribbon around her neck.

I personally don‘t like spooky stories but the tagged book is a favorite of my students! #sundayfunday @BookmarkTavern

I could probably have picked any story from Alvin Schwartz‘s creepy books. They are all cemented in my brain from school book fairs😅, but the story I remember well enough I could tell it myself is The Girl with the Green Ribbon.

Here‘s an interesting article about it! https://www.scarystudies.com/the-girl-with-the-green-ribbon/
