Michael Garland creates another Miss Smith literary adventure.  The setting is a fall day at the local library.  Virginia Creeper, the librarian, wants to read some spooky stories so Miss Smith lends her the Incredible Storybook.  As Ms. Creeper reads, characters from 13 scary stories emerge from the book.  The children shudder as the Queen of Hearts, Captain Hook, Frankenstein, and the Headless Horseman, to name a few, fill the library.  When the librarian stopped reading and handed out cider and cookies, a party began.  The characters seem happy and not nearly as scary.  Everyone had fun until Ms. Creeper noticed the senior Book Club approaching the library.  Hurriedly, Miss Smith cleaned up, Ms. Creeper delayed the Book club, and Zach read all the characters back into the Incredible Storybook.  Garland’s bright images depict the children’s awe as characters appear.  Although a picture book, young readers may be unfamiliar with these characters.  However, this book could be used as an introduction to these classic tales in literature.
