The culture for 'Snappy Little Spooks' was in the early 2000's, so everything was starting to modernise into a 'new society'. The culture was very western and shaping towards the ameri

can side of thinking.

I chose this book because it was my favourite as a child. I think it was my favourite because it had pop-ups and other engaging things such as the colour scheme or the way my mother read it to me. It also wasn't too long and was easy to read. It means the world of my early childhood. It is my alpha and omega.The beginning and end of my early childhood. The message i felt from the book was not to be afraid, As a child

this book helped me get over my fear of the dark. I wasn't Scared. THe meaning is not to get scared, that those supernatural things arent 'out to get me', they're just as scared as me and are very alike me. Perhaps it has a secondary meaning of not taking things to face value and 'judging a book by its cover'.

Visual features for the book included the popups and also those abstract orange/yellow 'spooky' colours. The way the text is written is that it emphasises the big/important words to help get the meaning that all the characters are either scared or want to have a good time.
