‘Vraiment peur !’

vraiment peur - le toboggan bookstore

In French, from 4yo.

A dad is going to read a bedtime story to his son. The boy wants a really scary story. Not a story with a mice wolf, with a witch who invites her friends the unicorns, nor a story of a vampire who has soft teeth and can only chew gum. He picks a book for dad to read and gets ready for a scary story… but not too scary.
