Reseña del editor

There's a KNOCK at the door.
A box shows up on the front step. A SPOOKY black box. What could be inside?
With fun, dramatic designs, Mark Gonyea shows the scary things that might slither, slice, or slide their way out, from a ton of toads to a bunch of old bones to a robot with laser eyes. When it comes time to open the box, it's up to the reader to lift the lid!
