From School Library Journal
Gr 3-5-Robinson opens with a lengthy history of Halloween and its ghostly beginnings. The next section explains the different symbols and traditions. The final chapter relates information about our modern celebrations, safety issues for children, and costume and decorating ideas. Full-color, archival photos appear on almost every page. Directions for making mini-ghosts are included but not illustrated, which may frustrate children. An additional purchase where more material on the history of the holiday is needed.
