Shock-headed Peter read out loud by Natasha with such vivacity is particularly effective for learners to grasp the essence of spoken English, as to its rhythm,intonation, accentuation, etc. Incidentally, I have failed to download 'the original pictures and text' included in the passage: "As a special treat we present the original pictures and text including other poems from the collection. " The following shows up: "Not Found Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here." Could you fix it? Sincerely, Katsu I have recommended school children learning English in my neighborhood to access Storynory which is indeed extremely valuable as the stories are read by native British speakers.

You do have a good point about one or two of the pictures which are rather horrid. On the whole, we think these poems are more silly than scary, but in consideration of what you are saying, I'll beef up the warning for small children. Sally - as you mention, Roald Dahl is great at scary stories but unfortunately, he's still in copyright, and although we love his stories, we can't use them for another 60 years or so! Thank you for the suggestion all the same. Tina, very sorry you couldn’t sleep at night. You do have a good point about one or two of the pictures which are rather horrid.
