My son and I have read this book over and over and over again. Whether it's Halloween time or not this book will be a sure favorite of kids' who like the dark side. Don't take this to mean that the book is dark or scary. What I mean is that if your kids have a taste for spookies then this book will not fail to please. Great pictures with subtle hidden pictures that show that the spookies and such aren't real in this haunted house. The text is fun to read outloud to the wee ones.

My 3 1/2 & 21 month old sons love this book and insist I read it to them evry night before bedtime. The artwork is attention grabbing and the prose has a nice cadence. Of course I throw in my own personal sound effects for the witches, ghosts, werewolf & Frankenstein. This just gets them giggling like crazy. This book is not too scary for the littlest kids, because if you look closely, there's almost always a 'hidden' item which helps explains the 'spooky' stuff. You can point this out as you go along. The surprise ending is quite nice too. I highly reccommend this book for kids 18 months to 5 years.

I started reading this book to my kids when they were both around the age of four. Now they are about six and eight and they still love it. Funny book.

We write sensory descriptive stories about a fictional visit to a haunted house so this one is very inspiring! Not too scarry but nice descriptive language!

My favorite kindergarten teacher loved this nice non-spooky book on many levels. It is great for the kids to find little clues and objects and they are real attentive and involved plus having fun. This book would be perfect for even younger children. It was a great purchase and teaching aid.

my son whom is 3 and his friends 7 all loved this book. it's pretty much about kids going into a pretend haunted house that there parents take them to.all the kids loved this book.

Title says it all. This book tells a great story in words and pictures about a girl and her Dad visiting a haunted house. My 5 and nearly 3 year olds both really enjoy it. Anything "scary" about the haunted house is explained away by careful inspection of the pictures - to the great delight of my 5 yr old.

My granddaughter is a Halloween FREAK. She loves it more than Christmas. She totally enjoyed this book. She made me read it over and over. I am sure it will be her favorite for a long time.

This book drew in my son. He was waiting to see what was going to happen and was thankful not to have the scary ending.

The story is cute and the drawings are fabulous; my four-year-old grandson enjoys the book. My complaint is the seller should have used a better mailing envelope. The bottom right corner of the book came with deep creases.
