The Curse of the Campfire Weenies: And Other Warped and Creepy Tales (Weenies Stories)

My boys 8 and 10y/o LOVE these stories. They go along innocently enough until you reach a mind boggling twist at the end. I have even caught my normally 'I don't want to sit still long enough to read' 10y/o snuggled in his bed in the middle of the day reading these stories. As the title states, these are 'warped and creepy tales' and SO fun to read!

what a way to make your little one stretch their imaginations. I could just see the wheels turning unti it clicked in my kiddo. Short stories that left them thinking themselves to sleep although the stories were great also to quickly read when my son needed a break from homework. Loved all the wenie books.

As with the two previous "Weenie ..." Tales (see LAND OF THE LAWN WEENIES and INVASION OF THE ROAD WEENIES), this collection consists of thirty-five extremely short stories (average size is approximately five pages) that target children as the prime audience. The tales are fun to read and usually contain a subtle morality message or a question to ponder that is interwoven into the story. For instance in "Mr. HooHaa", Mr. Lubar asks a key metaphysical question of are clowns more frightening without the make-up or a profound look into the universally accepted tenet that "You Are What You Eat". In "The Tunnel of Terror", Rachel learns the hard way that avoidance or even closing your eyes does not make the issue vanish (sounds like Rachel will grow up to be a politician). So like Ben get yourself a drink at "The Soda Fountain" and enjoy reading the warped and creepy tales of an expert as Mr. Lubar's latest shows how the grass is not necessarily greener when you escape from "The Curse of the Campfire Weenies" to end up with the Girl Scouts singing campfire weenies.

This is a great collection of quality stories just as you would expect from David Lubar. Each one is short but well written and has a delicious creepy twist in the tail.
