My 2 1/2 year old just loves Halloween. He was born Oct. 28th so he's definitely a Halloween baby and he loves everything to do with the holiday including seeing pumpkins, bats and spiders. This delightful book by Natasha Wing is a Halloween takeoff on "Twas the Night Before Christmas" following the same pattern except that in this book various ghouls and goblins are preparing for Halloween and for the children who will soon be knocking at their front door. The Illustrations by Cynthia Fisher perfectly fit the fun tone and pace of the book and my little loves reading this one over and over...

The idea of the monsters getting ready for Haloween was great. I loved the book. I bought 10 copies and gave them to friends and relatives. They had received the Night Before Easter Book and were looking forward to the continuation of the next Night Before series. We are anxiously awaiting The Night Before Valentines Day.

My 4 year old is OBSESSED with halloween, so trust me - we've read just about every halloween picture book and early chapter book that we can get our hands on.

"The Night Before Halloween", is told in the same rhyming verse as "The Night Before Christmas" story; and follows the monsters as they prepare for Halloween. The verse is easy for kids to follow and the illustrations are colorful and detailed. This book has become a quick favorite for us to read at bedtime.

I would absolutely recommend adding this to your Halloween book list. Also check out "Room on the Broom" by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler - this is another of our favorites this year.

I read this aloud to a class of first graders and they enjoyed the fun ryhming text and colorful illustrations. They were familiar with the similar Christmas story, so were interested in seeing how the Halloween version would play out. My very young grandson loves the story and pictures, too!

My son loves this book and it is his first request every single night lately. The twist on "Twas the night before Christmas" and the cadence to the book makes it an easy book to read before bedtime.

My 5 year old son loves holloween books. This one is up there with one of his favorites! Great illustrations and story.

Fun Book to read! Words go along with "Twas the Night Before..." and rhyme...Excellent, fun story ;)

I was at my grandson's school as a guest in his class and the teacher was reading "The Night Before Halloween" to the class. The kids had so much fun with the story and I couldn't help but get a kick out of seeing them so taken in by this book. My dog Peanut's a big fan of children's books and I think he'd like this one, too!

This book is so very cute! My kids got a real kick out of the story and the "spooky" things getting all ready for Halloween, while the kids were trick or treating. Not too spooky and FUN!

This story was perfect for my twin toddlers class. The pictures are great- it is fun to read and all of the children loved having their own copy. I can't wait to but the rest in the series!!!
