Book Description

Publication Date: September 4, 2001 | Age Level: 4 and up

A beautifully illustrated and creatively written story about the special magic of Halloween and its ability to transform children into witches, monsters, and even WWF Superstars. In this sequel to the bestselling Christmas Chaos, the well-loved WWF Superstar once again proves his genius beyond the mat. Jill Thompson, an illustrator for DC comics brings the story to life with inspired illustrations in the rich oranges, purples, and greens that capture Halloween. From the no 1 New York Times Bestselling author Mick Foley comes a festive and imaginative children's picture book to follow the phenomenally successful Christmas Chaos. The setting is Halloween and Foley cleverly combines his love of costumes, trick-or-treating and candy bars with some rough and tumble action from witches, goblins, ghosts, and ghouls. Mick introduces us to an exciting and festive collection of characters including a witch, a werewolf, and a creepy green skinned boy named Frank as they attempt to terrify the children of Pumpkin Lane. But when the kids don their WWF costumes, they are unable to be intimidated. Jill Thompson uses bold colours and a light touch to bring Mick's imaginative tale to life in the illustrations. The result is a story that's a testament to Mick's unique ability to capture the magic of any holiday. This is a must-have for endless fans of the WWF as well as young children and their parents looking for a beautifully illustrated, fun, bedtime story.

This review is from: Mick Foley's Halloween Hijinx (Hardcover)

Halloween Hijinx is the second children's book by Pro-Wrestling legend Mick Foley, and it's even better than his first, Christmas Chaos. Hijinx intertwines the stories of three Human children & three Monster children as they prepare to celebrate Halloween. Foley and artist Jill Thompson have produced a fun, great-looking book; Foley's rhymes are often hilarious and his message of tolerance, acceptance, and the true meaning of halloween is great. Thompson, a famous comic-book artist, contributes some of her most appealing art ever; The colors are just gorgeous! Halloween Hijinx is a fun book sure to be enjoyed by all ages, year after year.
