Kenney, Karen Spine-Tingling Urban Legends 32 pgs. Lerner, 2018. $20.
This
book features a wide range of urban legends from bigfoot, to bloody Mary, to
bugs in your ears, haunted bridges, and the grave of Amie Laveau in New
Orleans. Lots of bright and well-chosen photographs accompany the legends.
This
book is maybe a bit too creepy for younger students, the whole section on bugs
hatching from your body is fairly nightmare inducing (at least for me!). Better
for 4th grade and up. I would also be a bit worried about introducing
the bloody mary legend to students that had never heard it before, I can
already hear the parents uproar. Upper grade students would find this book fascinating.
