Flap Copy Description:

Mary scares everyone. But can Mary scare her fearless cousin, Harry? Mary pulls out all her scariest tricks. But nothing quite works - until Mary has a very scary idea...
Beware of Mary McScary!
My Thoughts:
I chose to review Mary McScary this month since it's an appropriate picture book for Halloween. (And because its author is R.L. Stein!) What I love about this book is its precocious protagonist: Mary McScary. She's a bit over the top, but that's what makes this book so hilarious. In addition to the silly text in verse, the comical illustrations by Marc Brown are the perfect companion to the story. I highly recommend Mary McScary for young children aged three to seven!
