There were too many fatphobic jokes in this book. (I could go on a whole rant how deeming fatness as a joke or bad starts young based on tons of children’s books, but I’ll stop here.)
Slappy is at it again lol He was a funny character. The talent show reminded me of an earlier Slappy book, so it sounded a bit repetitive to me. I haven’t read the other Slappy books, so I’m unsure if that’s a bit or not .

A slappy-tastic way to start the spooky season!
Slappy Birthday to You was a fun and suspenseful read. My favourite scene was The Doll Museum, which involved some tense moments. That said, the ending was quite rushed, which was a shame.
Nonetheless, the Goosebumps stories will always be the perfect spooky season read.

Slappy is our favorite Goosebumps character so we were super excited about this new series. This first installment was especially nightmare-ish with lots of creepy dolls! I also loved the Slappy chapters throughout the book that were very Tales From the Crypt-esque. Interested to see what the 2nd book is like. Can't wait!

Gosh, what bratty cousins. I could not stand them.
This was such a creepy fun read. Super fast, but a lot of fun.

I loved the Goosebumps books as a kid. And my daughter has been obsessed with the Goosebumps shows for years, so we decided to read this one together after finding it for 50 cents at the library bookstore. She loved it! We loved reading in Slappy's voice. She wants to get all of these books now. It was just like I remember! Creepy in an entertaining way and not too scary.
