Littledale, F. (1992). The legend of sleepy hollow. New York, NY: Scholastic Inc.
This is a book about the legend of Sleepy Hollow. This book begins by describing the setting as, " Sleepy Hollow, the most enchanted place on earth." The main character Ichabod Crane is a school teacher who disappears after an encounter with the headless horseman. After Ichabod disappears he still has a lasting impact on the community of Sleepy Hollow.
This would be a great read aloud around halloween. This is a fun ghost story. This is a folk tale that has different variations. It would be a great activity for students to compare this story to the other variations.
Favorite Quote: "People still gather around a crackling fire and tell tales of this phantom called the headless horseman of Sleepy Hollow."
