Dear Dr. Sillybear

This is one of our favorites. My 6 year old daughter loves this book. I read it to her first grade class and they loved it too. It is a very sweet book.

The Thirteen Hours of Halloween is a lively tale

The Thirteen Hours of Halloween is a lively tale sure to delight beginning readers and writers. "In the first hour of Halloween, my best friend gave to me," a little girl recalls, "a vulture in a dead tree." Yes, children can sing along to the familiar Christmas tune until...The Thirteen Hour of Halloween when the little girl gives away her creepy gifts.Teachers can inspire young writers to make up their own "Hours of Halloween" stories and songs as a class or in small groups. The writers illustrate their work, which can then be bound into class or group books. Second and third graders are easily motivated to share their books and songs with the younger children, and of course, their parents. Parents will enjoy sharing this book with the little ones as they count along and learn to sing and read. With a little imagination this book can be used as an educational tool at home or school.
