When I first got into Alterna...this was the one title I omitted from my pull box. I think I then saw it on ICOOAW and ICYMI, and was hooked. It is predictable and one dimensional at times, but it is a palate cleansing read that is always enjoyable. I am glad that I turned the corner on this title.
Last spring I gave some duplicates to a younger couple whose son was learning to read. Now, Mr. Crypt is one of his favorites and in the usual rotation of the young man's bed time stories. Wonderful.
That is really cool!
