The Flat Man (Creepies)

Rating:
Summary: Nightmares
Review: For some reason, my daughter's school librarian thought it would be a good idea to read this book to the class. She was wrong! This is a terrible book for children. My 6 year old is having nightmares worrying that The Flat Man is coming to get her. The Flat Man does not ease childrens' fears about the dark, it creates new ones.

Review: My 2 1/2 year old son's pre-school started reading this book, the kids love it when it is being read, but my son is going around closing doors and sleeping under his covers at night and has also had screeming episodes during the night. He has been pretending to put the flatman under our basement stairs storage area. I would not recommend this book for children under 5. Why put these thoughts into such young minds (the dark is scarry enough for them :)
