Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2?Various imaginary creatures dance through this rhythmic Halloween revel. In a grassy graveyard dotted with skeletal trees, they cavort to a rhymed rap beat. First the tombstones knock, "Booma Boom! Booma Boom!" Then, with each flip of the page, another being joins in: skeletons rattle, "Clacka-clack!"; ghosts moan, "Ooooa-Ooo!"; and so on. When the rhythm of the celebration reaches town, rattling dishes and syncopating clocks, curious townspeople of all races rush to join the fun?"Even the mayor boogied to the beat." Sketchy cartoon drawings animate the pages, adding childlike images and movement. As each new group joins in, the others continue. Finally the hillside is filled with kicking, twirling, leaping people and creatures. The rollicking beat and lively illustrations make this a welcome addition to Halloween collections.?Nancy Seiner, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

From Booklist

Ages 3^-6. There's not much story here, just a rhythmic rhyme that describes a Halloween gathering in the cemetery. The musical moans and rattling bones add up to a rock beat so catchy that even the neighbors head over to the cemetery to join the fun. The cartoon-style art is more funny than frightening, and while it isn't a first purchase, kids should find the book an amusing enough diversion. Ilene Cooper

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocking Rhythmic Halloween Fun!, September 17, 2000
This review is from: Rattlebone Rock (Paperback)
Rattlebone Rock is so fun to read. Children love the rhythmic text and really get into the book by making the spooky sounds the author writes of. Read it through once to a class of K-3 students. Then read it again and again, and have them chime in during the graveyard ghostly parts! This has been a hit with the k-3 students I have read it to. They will love the text and the great illustrations. A Halloween Book I wouldn't be without!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get ready to read it over and over and over and over ......., November 7, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Rattlebone Rock (Paperback)
My daughter (age 3) likes this book so much that I have to read it to her at least twice a day. This has been going on for over a month and luckily, I'm not really tired of it yet!

1.0 out of 5 stars Rattlebone Rock book, December 5, 2011
This review is from: Rattlebone Rock (Paperback)
I was not happy with this product. It came much later than the delivery date in a worn out package that looked like it had been run over on a highway. The book was bent, torn, and had all this white gook on the cover. I guess that is "good" condition, I'd hate to see what the next step down would be! Will not order from this person again.

However, the content of the book itself is adorable and I can't wait to use it in my classroom for Halloween next year!
