Summary: Fond memories...
Review: A few days ago I started to remember loving this book as a kid. It took me two days of internet searches to finally find the name, and it comes up out of print. I want to buy multiple copies of it for my nephews. Hopefully it will be available soon.

Summary: Still with me after all these years
Review: Growing up as a monster-loving kid I immediately fell in love with this book. The illustrations are beautiful and atmospheric and the stories a childish, yet macabre, complement to them. And the best part is I still own the copy I first spotted at my elementary's library. They must have thrown it out at one point, I don't know how else I would have attained and preserved this wonderful part of my childhood. Recommended for your children and yourself!

Summary: Genius! A true Classic!
Review: I believe I speak for everyone on this list, when I say this book is one of the best, if not the best children's books of all time. For me, and many others (at least on this review board) this book was a life changing experience. I find my experience with the book is quite similar to most of the others on this page. I found the book in my elementary school library, and loved it. I checked it out every time I could get the chance, and read it over and over. I highly recommend this book, for all ages. The stories are wonderful, the illustrations are fantastic... A true classic!

Summary: Magical Book
Review: I read this book when I was in elementary school. I am now 25 years old, and I still remember this book. Over the years, I have found myself thinking of this book now and then and wishing I had a copy of it in my possession. This book was a special friend of mine. It was there for me on rainy days, sunny days and very sad days. I can recall once being very sad about something, and remembering that I had checked the book out from the school library (I often did), and I lay down on my bead and curled up with this book. I can remember my sadness vanishing instantly as I was pulled into the spooky, yet delightful magical world of Grandpa's Ghost Stories. The tears that first fell on the pages of the book were certainly the last ones of the day for me. Because of this book, I have always LOVED rain storms and thunder and lightening storms, they actually make me feel cozy. No other books in the world have ever had this kind of effect on me, with the possible exception of the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark trilogy. It is very tragic that this book is no longer in print, and I anxiously await the day that it is available again at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this book to absolutely anyone, but especially to anyone who enjoys a good, spooky tale. This is a treasure. Do yourself a BIG favor and discover it for yourself and for your children.

Review: I remember when I was in grade school--I would check this book out every time that I could. I think that the librarian would have like to have given the book to me! I enjoyed this, and am saddened to see it out of print!
