I work in a Nursery School and the children get pretty antsy around Halloween. This one kept them all quiet and focusing on
the book. They LOVED it- I had to reread it again, and the other classes in our school had me come into their classes and read this story.

Very imaginative and all the words rhyme!! I love books that have a beat and the words rhyme like this.
Enjoy-

This book is a halloween treat! I've read it over and over to my 19 month old who absolutly loves this book! The pictures are bright and silly, but most of all its a lot of fun to read! Other family members and friends have read it to her as well and they love the book as much as us! The words are in a sing-songy rhythm - you cant help but bounce around as you read this! I would (and have) recomended this book to everyone I know!

Like...Crazy, Man
This book can shake, rattle, and roll. I don't have the right rhythm for hip hop, so I sing it to the One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater, kind of. Read more
