This book starts off with a father and son having a conversation about what they are most scared of, which are a thief, a wolf, and a terrible leak. But, the thief hears the words as a terrible "EEK" and the wolf does not know what a leak is, so they both assume it is a creature. Through their fear, they go away from the house and remained frightened throughout the night. Through them talking about things, other animals head of the terrible eek and also become just as frightened.

I think this book was very funny and could be very funny to a group of young children. It reminded me of the game "telephone" we used to play when I was younger, and it was always so funny to see how jumbled the original sentence or story ended up. ( )

My daughter enjoyed helping me read this book. There were a lot of loud interactive moments. The theme was cute. Do what you are suppose to do, and trouble may not find you!!! ( )

This story begins with moments that could scare younger children, but those thoughts are quickly resolved when the father mentions a terrible leek which in turn rids their house of danger. This story showcases folklore containing talking beasts, as the animals can speak. The story quickly came to light and the problem was completely resolved at the end with the boy in his family safely tucked into bed, safe and sound. ( )

This was a funny tale where the good people definitely won out in the end over the wolf and the theif. The wolf and theif get what they deserve. I thought the story was well written and the pictures were very funny too.
