Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading
Today’s question:
What is the weirdest/strangest/craziest book you’ve read?
My Answer:
This is a hard one. It took me quite a while to come up with an answer since the majority of books I choose to read, are books that after reading the synopsis, I know I will enjoy.
The book that finally came to mind was a children’s book I reviewed last year. I’m not sure if it falls under the category of weirdest/strangest/craziest but, in my opinion it was a bit strange. It has been many years since I have read to a child so am not sure what is really out there in this genre. It was The Snowman’s Revenge. I thought the illustrations were scary and couldn’t imagine reading this to a child for the possibility of nightmares. But as I stated, it has been many years of reading to a little one, nor am I surrounded by children, to know what a child likes/dislikes these days.

There are some strange books out there! Enjoy your new ones!
Too funny!! We loved that book, of course, my youngest was in 3rd & I wouldn’t read it to any of the younger kids 😉
That does sound like a strange book, Cheryl…here’s MY MUSING MONDAYS POST
great idea..get a kid all worked up and very scared..then turn the lights off and say ‘night night’..lol
Snowman’s Revenge does sound pretty freaky for a children’s book!
Here’s my Musing Mondays post =)
Wow, the story does not look like a nice kids books. It is a strange thing for a snowman to be angry,lol.
The Snowman’s Revenge, especially with scary illustrations doesn’t sound like much of a children’s book. Maybe for older children? Considering my 4 and 5 year old cousins were scared during parts of The Lion King years ago, I’m not so sure The Snowman’s Revenge is a good book for children!
I hope you enjoy your new books and have a good reading week!
What a freaky book! I hope your mailbox books are much better. 🙂
I hope you enjoy your new books – those are both new to me!
Enjoy your new books! I received Life Drawing for Beginners too. It sounds really good!
