The Gargoyle on the Roof by Jack Prelutsky illustrated by Peter Sis

I borrowed this book mainly for the poems about gargoyles when we learned about the Notre Dame Cathedral.  Of course my boys wanted me to read aloud all of the poems!
The poems are spooky.
Mr. Prelutsky's word choice is precise.  He offers the opportunity for vocabulary expansion!  Every poem contains several interesting, sophisticated words.
Warning: subject matter-trolls, headless horseman, vampires, werewolves, goblins
