OK, I'm a big fan of Emberly, as should be apparent to anyone who's read any of my other reviews, but the salient detail about this book was left out of the other reviews: It consists entirely and only of excerpts from the Big Orange books. You don't really need this if you have the Orange book.
Perhaps worse is that it's not even =all= the Halloween material from the Big Orange book, so even if you wanted to get it because your kids were fighting over who got to use the orange book, this may not help. It contains none of the monsters from the green or purple books, and despite the color of the cover, there are no red pictures. Just orange.
This might be a good book to introduce someone to Emberly's work, though around Halloween, being cheap.

I grew up using Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Animals. I somehow managed to keep it until my first child was born (it was my favorite childhood book), but without supervision, it was destroyed/lost/gone. When my second child turned 4, I started looking for a replacement and was thrilled to see all the different Ed Emberley books available now! These books take you shape by shape through the drawing. Each drawing is short and simple, keeping your child's attention and giving them a great result without discouraging extra detail. I recommend these books to anyone with pre-schoolers, they're awesome!

Ed Emberley books are excellent for the little artist who wants perfection before picking up a crayon. i have three boys and each of them can create the finished image. sometimes, they are dead on and other times, they have gone there and altered that. in all cases, they are very proud to reproduce a printed image by a Real Artist and at the same time, they learn proportions and methods for attaining the final image. great book for any person. i use it for Halloween gift bags every year (as in i follow the directions and draw these guys on bags for our guests.) fun for all ages!

Good book but similar to Ed Emberley's Orange book
This book is good but has similar drawings found in the Orange book, so one may need to only purchase one of these books. Read more
