Cute book

This book is very cute for Halloween. The repetition is good for developing early reading skills.

Non Scary Halloween story for Preschool aged

This story is told in repetitive verse which tends to capture the attention of young children. It is similar in structure to "the house that Jack built", where each sentence repeats and then builds upon the previous sentence to tell the story. This story follows Emily as she gets dressed in her costume for Halloween. Overall, the sing-songy kind of rhyme was good, and the illustrations were colorful and fun, but the story itself didn't hold much excitement for my 4yo. We borrowed this from the library, and it only got one read before we returned it. For a book with a similar story format but more of an interesting plot, I would recommend "Inside a House That Is Haunted" by Alyssa Satin Capucilli and Tedd Arnold.

Very fun!

By the time my 4-year-old and I get to the middle of this book, he's laughing so hard we have to take a break! It's a Halloween version of the old "House that Jack Built" story from Mother Goose. It's wonderfully adorable and very engaging for kids!

Great book for all ages

This book has become a favorite of my 5 month old as well as my 9 year old. It has a fun rhyming nature and very cute illustrations.
