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!

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!

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!

I've used this book in Reader's Theater with 4th grade students, and it is a HUGE hit. The vocabulary is sophisticated enough to challenge readers older than the K - 2 age range others had mentioned. Set it to a beat and they feel like Halloween rap stars! The interactive sounds make it great for shared reading too.

this book is so cute -I'm a music teacher and read it rhythmically with the kids echoing back the sound effects rhythmically to me. Great fun!

Hands-down, this is the absolute best Halloween book for young children. We bought this when it first came out in 1997, and it still has an honored spot on our shelves. Every year, we pull it out and revel in the fanciful pictures, catchy rhymes, and joy of the season.

We started reading this when my son was only a few months old, and now that he's almost 9, it's still a favorite -- and our younger two kids love it just as much. Don't miss this book!

This great book is meant to be read aloud. This is a humorous book, which makes friends of the goblins and ghouls, by making them party through the night with all the local neighbors. The rhythms are great, the words are funny and this is a book designed to make the tongue dance and the teeth tap. The pictures are wonderful and in full color. Read it at bedtime around Halloween and your kids will be filling in the rhythms and rapping along with you in a Halloween treat.

This book is great for Halloween! Our children really enjoy repeating the rocking, rythmic sounds made in this graveyard!

This is the BEST Halloween book for children from the age of 6months to 5 years. This book is short enough that you can keep the kids attention and it is more funny than scary. However, the person reading the book out loud to the children must read it with humor and life and be ready to get up and dance. The illustrations are wonderful and fun.
