A Great Halloween Read Aloud

This great book is meant to be read aloud. This is a humorous book, which makes friends of the goblins and ghouls, by making them party through the night with all the local neighbors. The rhythms are great, the words are funny and this is a book designed to make the tongue dance and the teeth tap. The pictures are wonderful and in full color. Read it at bedtime around Halloween and your kids will be filling in the rhythms and rapping along with you in a Halloween treat.

Get ready to read it over and over and over and over .......

My daughter (age 3) likes this book so much that I have to read it to her at least twice a day. This has been going on for over a month and luckily, I'm not really tired of it yet!

Rocking Rhythmic Halloween Fun!

Rattlebone Rock is so fun to read. Children love the rhythmic text and really get into the book by making the spooky sounds the author writes of. Read it through once to a class of K-3 students. Then read it again and again, and have them chime in during the graveyard ghostly parts! This has been a hit with the k-3 students I have read it to. They will love the text and the great illustrations. A Halloween Book I wouldn't be without!

This graveyard rocks!

This book is great for Halloween! Our children really enjoy repeating the rocking, rythmic sounds made in this graveyard!

Rocking Good Time On Halloween

This is the BEST Halloween book for children from the age of 6months to 5 years. This book is short enough that you can keep the kids attention and it is more funny than scary. However, the person reading the book out loud to the children must read it with humor and life and be ready to get up and dance. The illustrations are wonderful and fun.
