Best Halloween Book for Young Readers Ever!,
By A Customer
This review is from: It's Halloween (Greenwillow Read-Alone) (Library Binding)
This wonderful book tells the story of an event-filled night for three young people through 13 separate poems about different Halloween night events. Jack Prelutsky's wonderful poems are expertly illustrated by Marylin Hafner- such an excellent teaming, I wish they'd collaborated on more books. I am 25 years old - grew up with this book, and every year around Halloween I find Parts of Prelutsky's poems dancing around in my head, along with favorite scenes of illustration. If this book were not back in print, I'd scour the globe looking for a copy - every child, and every Halloween-loving adult should own one!

Excellent book that sticks with you!,
By A Customer
This review is from: It's Halloween (Greenwillow Read-Alone) (Library Binding)
I first read this book MANY years ago. I got it from one of those wonderful Scholastic book order forms that were given out in class. I STILL love all the poems in it and have found that they stuck in my mind for all these years. I am delighted to find that it is still in print. This is an excellent addition to the library of anyone who has children or who enjoys Halloween in general!

BUY THIS!,
By A Customer
This review is from: It's Halloween (Paperback)
It is the best Halloween book ever. It has just the right amount of creepiness to get kids really excited about Halloween. A fun book with simple rhyme schemes and memorable illustrations, it will keep kids interested. I'm 27 and I still love it.
