Customer Reviews

boys love this book

My 2 grandsons love this book. We first saw it at the library and now we have to own it, because we can only check it out at halloween. We read it 3 times at the library and have read it every night this week. They were not scared of it. They are 4.5 and 19 months

Spooky & Simple

My sons, 4-years-old and 22 months, LOVE this book. The pages alternate between graphic illustrations of spooky creatures (ghost, mummy, werewolf, etc.) and cute illustrations of the boy trying to dress scary for Halloween. We've borrowed this from the library twice and plan to buy for a Halloween present this year.
