When reading this to a third grade class, they didn't want me to stop reading. The poems are fun and the illustrations were beautifully done. I highly recommend for personal libraries for children and teachers.

These spooky tales of Halloween night
Are guaranteed to delight

Nineteen tales of fright and fear
Shall be enjoyed throughout the year

These tales are simply great fun
They have something for everyone.

RATING:A-

I bought this book on eBay as I love Halloween and Children's Halloween Poetry. This copy was discarded from a public library, the due date sticker indicated it had only been borrowed three times!
The drawings are HORRIFIC with fangs, ungodly expressions, etc. A previous reviewer said it's for the "Goosebump" crowd. Well, I don't think this is for them or any child. As a retired Children's Librarian I would have sent the book back and gotten something more appropriate such as: "It's Halloween" by Jack Prelutsky. I remember once watching the movie "The Pit and the Pendulum" and having nightmares for weeks afterwards! Okay, maybe I'm squeamish but this book in my opinion will give your child nightmares and I think that's why it was disguarded after only having been borrowed 3 times!
