That's a great story! The very first Bradbury I ever read, in fact. I like to reread it from time to time.

Another story my students (seventh grade) have really enjoyed over the years is "The Screaming Woman." I usually teach it around Halloween, and then show the video from the Ray Bradbury Theater. It stars a young Drew Barrymore, which they get a kick out of. They all seem to relate to the idea of not getting an adult to listen to or believe them at times, and they also love the pure horror of it. The video is very well done, especially in the part where they dig the woman up. It looks like they have gotten to her too late, but then her hand reaches out and everyone in the classroom jumps. Pretty cool!!
