An ancient ghost tries to frighten a new family away from his castle. A scientist’s potion reveals old secrets. And a street magician has one last trick up his sleeve. Read these spooky (but not too scary!) illustrated stories–and then act them out yourself!
This beautifully illustrated Companion Reader is an exact transcript of Jim Weiss’s award-winning storytelling performance of three classic tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Rudyard Kipling, and Oscar Wilde.The Reader can be enjoyed on its own, or used along with the recorded performance to build strong language skills. Listen to the Jim Weiss stories, read along to improve fluency, vocabulary, and grammar, and then speak great words and sentences out loud by practicing and performing the short, accessible dramatic versions of Jim’s performances.关于作者
Crystal Cregge is a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, and Animator who graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University. She originally grew up with dreams of being a comic book artist but found her love of telling stories through imagery could be expressed in many mediums. Her work has ranged from children’s books, audiobooks, commercials, tv shows, magazines and postcards and even Virtual Reality. No matter the medium, she has worked with many notable clients to help bring their ideas to life.
In the rare moment when she isn’t making art, she can be found curled up with a good book and a great cup of coffee.
