Hi Stella!

I really don't understand these people who get up in arms about books they deem too scary for kids. I can only assume that they have no memory of what they actually read as a child or that they were never read to and only watched Disney cartoons. If they keep sadness and fear in the relatively safe venue of fiction away from their kids, how are those kids going to deal with those same feelings in the real world when they grow up? Scary stories = training wheels for the emotions.

I'm not saying you need to read your 2 year old Stephen King, just go back and look at the Grimm Brothers, HC Anderson or even Katherine Paterson, for goodness sake.
