Scary Godmother HC Hardcover – October 26, 2010

It is good to know there are some writers out there that can still appeal to kids without boring the grownups. I was introduced to "Scary Godmother" in the Halloween specials they show in October, and I was intrigued enough to try to find the book.I found the book both funny and interesting as Scary introduced Hannah to the Fright side and allayed her fears by means of both fun and factual information, and helped Hannah to get her own back when the big kids bullied her by trying to scare her. It was also fun when Hannah tried to return the favor by helping Scary when she fell ill, and discovered Scary's job was harder than it looked, although she did a masterful attempt at it. This is one book that can interest a child without talking down to them and does add a bit of fact about those things the bump in the night by focusing on what actually makes Halloween fun without needing to scare them with mindless violence or blood and gore.

This was my favorite tv movie growing up as a kid and when I found out it was a book I searched for years looking for it as a hardcover, this came in exactly on time and is in perfect new condition. No dents or folds or rips. It's a beautiful vibrant neon green and it's absolutely stunning. I just read the whole book last night with my cousins and they loved it although Halloween is over the girls told me they want to dress as Hannah and scary godmother next year. I'm thrilled for these stories and am so excited I finally found it.

This is a beautiful book - with wonderful illustrations. I can't say I really care for the storyline personally but it has some nice lessons to be learned within it. My daughter has the video and loves it (despite horrible animation in my opinion) so we got her this book and she has really enjoyed it. She just turned 6 by the way for reference. I would recommend.

Came very quickly, but was slightly damaged (not falling apart, but the back cover is coming off).Still smells like new book, so I can’t complain too much :)

Wonderful story and artwork. Very high quality printing and great paper. The cover image is printed on the cover and not just an easily damaged dust jacket. The characters are warm and fun and subtle. I had only seen the 3D TV specials, and these original stories that the TV was taken from are waaay better!

A wonderful series, and this is a beautifully bound presentation. I love that the entire book is full color, too. I read the full book over the course of October with my kids (3 and 7) and they both love it.

I've always loved Jil Thompson and fell in love with the movies as soon as I found out about them. The comics are cute and entertaining. This will make a wonderful addition to my collection.

Great book and my daughter loved it. Also liked that this book includes several stories (books) within one book. The stories appear to be in a almost comic book kind of format.
