Customer Reviews

Great addition to Halloween library

Like Taback's "I Know an Old Lady...", the illustrations in this book are wonderfully detailed. I read this to my Kindergarten class every year, they enjoy the repetitive prose and can relate to trick-or-treating with their friends. Good math skill reinforcer, too!

Great story, wonderful pictures

My child loves this book. We have been reading it almost every day since we got it. The book has a very engaging structure - counting to 10 - and it leads up to a not too scary climax with a Halloween "monster" that is very thrilling. The rhythm of the book makes it pleasing to read, and the illustrations are great: both colorful and amusing.
