In just seven years, Goosebumps books have outsold every other children's book series, earning the title Best-Selling Children's Book Series in the Guinness Book of World Records Millennium Edition. Part of the reason for the success of the Goosebumps series is its ability to lure even the most reluctant readers into its creepy clutches. As children grow, they like to play with their fear and try to control it. Parents may worry that the books are too scary, and educators may question their intrinsic literary value, but the more than 200 million copies sold attest to their universal appeal for children. Often, the first task of an educator is to get the students' attention.
