The Headless Horseman (Step-Into-Reading, Step 3)

Just as I remembered from childhood. Very happy to find it on Amazon.

I love this story and the pictures in this particular book are great at creating a Halloween mood! And draWings are accurate to the real place.

Great item

Great condition!

I was very pleased with this retelling of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Donald Cook's illustrations will especially help in bringing the action to life for children. This book offers parents and children an opportunity to discuss the action and what they believe may have been the outcome based on the mysterious ending of the story. As other reviewers maintain, this is a great spooky story for kids.

A classic, brilliantly written novel. A schoolmaster, and a little town in colonial New York, create a normal, sometimes humerous beginning to the novel. However, as the tale goes on, you hear of the Ledgend of the Headless horseman of Sleepy Hollow. This mysterious, classic thriller will have you sifting through the pages you'll never be prepared for the unexpected, climacting conclusion! A must read for any Halloween fan! Just a brilliant story, hands down.

This is a children's version of the Washington Irving ghost story. My 7-year-old son read it in one afternoon and loved it. This will get any child reading who is the least bit interested in scary stories. Especially recommended for kids who are a little too young for Goosebumps but desperately want to read them.

My students really loved to read them again and again.

映画化もされた、ワシントン・アービングの「The Legend of Sleepy Hollow」を小学校1－3年生向けに書き直したものです。ほとんど絵本で、全部で48ページ、文章は1ページに5～10行程度です。映画「スリーピー・ホロウ」とはストーリーが大分違っていたのでちょっと驚きました！
