The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything

This is a great scary story for young kids. It’s about facing your fears and realizing it’s not as scary as you thought it was. The little old lady keeps running into items of clothing. Some gent is missing a lot of garments out there. Shoes, pants, shirt, and gloves, all moving on their own. A pumpkin head tries to scare her, but she figures out what to do with them.   It’s a simple story that builds suspense for the younger ones. I like how the little old lady says ‘I’m not afraid of you, get out of my way’ to each thing that happens to her. We know she is a little scared as she is walking faster, but she keeps going.   The nephew said that he wasn’t scared at all. It’s interesting how these simple suspenses work on the mind. The nephew thought it was a fun story overall and he gave this 3 stars.
