Most teachers who book me for a storytelling performance in October say that they want scary stories, but not TOO scary.
One of my favorites is the Belly Button Beastie, a Japanese folktale about a boy who has his belly button stolen by a monster that turns out to be friendly.
When my daughter Emmaline was four I read the story of the Gingerbread Man to her. After the horrible demise of our hero, I asked Em if this story was scary. She rolled her eyes (just like a teenager!) and said, "Mom, he is a cookie."
I want to be sensative... where is the line?
