It scared the heck out of me and gave me nightmares! Even now whenever I think of this story, I remind myself that the only thing I ate today was cereal or something like that to convince myself that the Tailypo has no reason to come to my house. Okay, I'll admit it. I absolutely LOVE the story now. But personally, I don't think it's a good story to read to little kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-83864142993623463152009-04-25T23:22:00.000-04:002009-04-25T23:22:00.000-04:00this was my all time favorite book when i was youn...this was my all time favorite book when i was younger. I asked my mom to read it to me every night. But I did get scared every time she read it to me and had to sleep with a night light. I always thought tailypo was going to come and eat me because i ate animals. I became a vegetarian a few years later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-52805964726413925052009-03-13T00:06:00.000-04:002009-03-13T00:06:00.000-04:00This story scared the crap out of me when it was r...This story scared the crap out of me when it was read to me in kindergarden, I'm still afraid of the woods!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-58985031236728325522008-12-09T00:51:00.000-05:002008-12-09T00:51:00.000-05:00I was terrified of this book when my teacher read ...I was terrified of this book when my teacher read it to the class in 2nd grade. When my teacher told us in 3rd grade she was going to read the same story on Halloween, I purposely pretended I was sick that day so I wouldn't have to go hear it again. My younger brother had the same issue. Maybe think twice before reading this story to such a young audience.I mean...the guy is clawed to death by a terrifying mysterious swamp animal.
