Publisher Description
A boy discovers the answer to one of the great urban mysteries: why are pigeons always pooping in parks? A second-grade class learns why they should always be nice to their math teacher..An ancient predator uses the internet to search out its prey. A young girl and her little brother escape a campfire weenie only to encounter something even more terrifying: a troop of Girl Scouts singing campfire songs. For this, his third collection of warped and creepy "weenie" tales, critically-acclaimed author and master of the macabre David Lubar traveled deep into the shadowy corners of his mind, looking for new ways to amuse and terrify his readers. And in the tradition of In the Land of the Lawn Weenies and Invasion of the Road Weenies, he reveals the inspiration behind each of the thirty-five stories at the end of the book

"Speculative Fiction for the young, these stories take the "what if?" writing platform into weird places. Some of the stories are funny, but most will play strange games with your mind. I might not reccommend these for very young readers, these stories are nightmare-inducing!"

" funny short stories "
— Roxanne, 12/30/2013 -
" These would be excellent short stories to read with grades 4-6 and use to model how to write a short story. Each has an unexpected twist and the author includes copious notes about inspiration that could help students brainstorm. "
— Brynn, 12/10/2013 -
" Some of the stories were cute, others were just boring. I think my students would like them. I really liked how the story Three started out, but I wish it had ended differently. It seemed like the stories towards the end were a little better. "

" Short stories that are a little creepy but not too gruesome for kids. My daughter doesn't read all of them because some seem boring. I read them all and enjoyed them, though some are a bit disturbing. Tales include things such as vampires, kids who become what they eat, etc. "
— Corinne, 7/25/2013 -
