Customer Reviews

Fantastic fun!

This book is simple & easy to read, and must strike something in kids because my son also loves this book! He is four years old and we read it over and over again. I have precious memories of our time together thanks to this book. He has it memorized, and "reads" it back to me. Fantastic book!

Grandaughter Loves this book

We have a black cat that looks like the cat in the story so my grandaughter Delaney thinks it's great that a book is about her cat.

De-light-ful

This simple story of a black cat on Halloween provides a good variety of language about a familiar topic to young children. The illustrations "carry" the story and offer good opportunity for discussion

Great Book!

My three year old son loves this book. He enjoys having it read to him even though the Halloween season is over. The wording is simple and the pictures are great.

The Sweetest Book!

I can' t believe no one has reviewed this! This book is a huge hit in my house. My 3 yr old daughter LOVES it and asks for it year round. I absolutely adore the sweet artwork and cute story (not scary or spooky in the very least). It is about Moonlight, a cat that walks the night on Halloween and sees kids trick-or-treating, sees jack-o-lanterns smiling, peeks in a window to see a dog sleeping in his bed, sees raccoons on a porch, the big white moon in the sky. This book is a well worth every penny and I highly recommend for ages 2-5. Enjoy!
