Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1. An engaging book for youngsters anticipating the excitement of Halloween. Each double-page spread has a simple rhyming verse on the left-hand side accompanied by a lift-the-flap with a picture clue on the right; each page illustrates some seasonal or scary item, ranging from a skeleton to a witch in a black hat. Words are carefully placed on the page in large, oversized print, making this selection also enticing to beginning readers. Costumed trick-or-treaters dressed as witches, dragons, pumpkins, and ghosts are interspersed throughout the story as they scurry from house to house, hoarding their treats. The captivating acrylic watercolors in bold, bright colors are full of scenes associated with autumn?a harvest moon and twinkling stars, a spooky graveyard, and swirling leaves. The last page is a special delight as a mylar mirror is cleverly attached over a monster's face, so "the scariest monster...it's you." As the book is tiny, it would be a wonderful one-on-one choice and might be accompanied by Ed Emberley's Go Away, Big Green Monster! (Little, Brown, 1993).?Debra Gold, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Parma Heights, OH

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my 2 year old daughter's favorite Halloween book., November 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Boo Who? A Spooky Lift-the-Flap Book (Hardcover)

My 2 year old, Charlotte, demanded this book repeatedly this past Halloween. It was the one she WANTED read over and over. She loved the ending, and I liked the fact that the mirror at the end was good quality, so she could actually see herself (not just a blur).

By A Customer

This review is from: Boo Who? A Spooky Lift-the-Flap Book (Hardcover)

This book is adorable. It was just right for my sister's 3 and 5 year olds. It was nice to give them a Halloween gift that's not candy! Cute ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting another copy-our son's favorite book., February 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Boo Who? A Spooky Lift-the-Flap Book (Hardcover)

When our son was 16 months old it was Halloween. This book got him saying, "witch", "boo", "ghost", etc. It has been a lot of fun to read with him.
