Here is a story written by Julien (with the help of his mum) :

How to scare you Dad?

It’s not easy to scare your Dad. Even harder than scaring your Mum. Check our collection for details :

• Start by listening to the radio on monsters, dinosaurs and scary things like ghosts.
• You really can scare your Dad with this booklet.
• Tell him shadows are monsters, dinosaurs and ghosts. Most likely they are monsters.
• Explain how he has to be cautious because these monsters are always under his feet.
• Don »t walk on the dark. You might get spied.
• Burst our a him saying « Woooohh » so he thinks you are a ghost or something else scary. Test several options to see what scares him best.
• Pretending to be a lion might get him to jump out of his pyjamas at night. THE END
