When two boys camp out in the backyard, one of them scares himself more than his brother by telling a scary story.



If you open almost any of award-winning author/illustrator Mercer Mayer's 250+ children's books you'll see dragons, cuddly monsters, wonderful creatures, and endearing critters. Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Mr. Mayer spent his childhood hunting lizards and snakes in the swamps by his home. During his teenage years, he lived in Hawaii where he attended the Honolulu Academy of Arts. He later received additional training at the Art Students League in New York City. Upon completion of his studies he set out with pen and ink to write and illustrate adventures he experienced as a child.
