Review # 1 was written on 2015-04-01 00:00:00 Eric Cidade This is an interesting little collection. Some of the stories are similar to those found in the Patrick Mendoza collection Between Midnight and Morning; Which makes sense, when you consider they both contain supernatural stories from Hispanic cultures. The stories in this collection almost seem geared towards read aloud with younger groups. They are simplistic and not very scary. But then again, I am reading them as a 36-year old in the light of day...

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-12 00:00:00 Aaron Coats In the Poetry for Young People series, Scholastic aims to breath new life into the work of classic poets by making their poetry more accessible to a younger audience. The book includes a biography of the original author as well as a carefully selected series of poems accompanied by illustrations. The Poetry for Young People series also includes a glossary to help define new words that readers may come across. The illustrations featured in Rudyard Kipling's edition of this series are not the most engaging-- the colouring is dull and bleak. That said, Kipling's work is very engaging and curated poems would likely resonate with a younger audience. I first read this book as a child and it was my first introduction and to this day, my most substantial interaction with Kipling's work.
