The artistic media used in this book looks very similar to markers. The style of art used in this book is folk art because everything in this book is simplified, exaggerated to distort reality. I would recommend this book to readers, because the use of repetition keeps the child interested in the story. Also this is a great book to read out loud with emotions.
This book is also great to read near Halloween time because of the creepiness. May 03, Dawn rated it liked it.

Oct 10, Kelly rated it liked it. As an adult though, I didn't think it was more than "pretty good". I'm going to try it at storytime and see if I'm being a grumpy adult or if it really wasn't that great when I read it as a child: There is nice repetition of teeny-tiny and it is a ghost story that isn't too scary, so I think that it might go over well. Oct 05, Luisa Knight rated it it was ok Shelves: This tale was just a bit odd.
The jacket of the book says that half the story is seeing the faces hidden in the pictures. I'm not sure this would have made a difference if I'd seen it before hand but For the classic children's stories, I love to go to Paul Galdone's books. His illustrations are charmingly old school and his telling of the age-old stories spot on. September - not specifically a Halloween story, but gently spooky so it fits. Ben was instantly a fan, and we've read it over and over. I love hearing his theories about what happened to the bone, and why all the other objects disappeared from the cupboard, too.
Is this really a classic fairy tale? It was ridiculous how many times "teeny tiny" was written in this book. There was very little plot. And who was calling for the bone?!

Students will love the "teeny-tiny" repetition in the description of every item on the page. Oct 27, Story rated it liked it. The book is cute but very anticlimactic. Oct 28, Jordan Smith added it Shelves: This book is a folktale which describes a small old woman who one day wonders out into a graveyard and finds a small bone. She takes the small old bone with her because she wants to use the bone to make a pot of soup for herself for dinner. However, when she arrives back at home, she is too tired to cook the soup, so she goes up for bed and puts the small old bone in her dresser or cupboard so that she does not lose it.
Although she is very frightened by the mysterious voice, she does not do anything about it. Each time she hears the voice she just hides her teeny-tiny head under her covers and is eventually able to fall back asleep. This book is a ghost story, so it would be a great book to read and introduce to my students right before Halloween.
I will have my students note all of the places in the story where the phrase is used, then as a class we will brainstorm ways to add more repetitions, and we will then conclude the discussion with a statement about where adverbs and adjectives belong in English sentences.

While the teeny-tiny mutes the scariness slightly , it helps to make it a good scary read aloud.
I had read this book before as a child and found it scary, as an adult it still has a creepiness to it. This is a fun and creepy story about a teeny-tiny woman. I thought that the teeny-tiny bit would be too much, but we listened to the story narrated by Jane Staab on audiocassette while we followed along with the story and it was just a funny little tale. The illustrations are interesting and the narration really helped to liven up the story. Dec 02, Chelsea rated it liked it Shelves:
