Sherry’s not-so-scary stories about things that go bump in the night, told through rhyme, stimulating language, oral response, and vivid visual imagery, leave younger students wide-eyed one moment and laughing the next. Sherry adapts the program for older students with goosebump-guaranteed tales from folklore, literature, poetry, and urban legends.
