5.0 out of 5 stars Great Halloween version of an old favorite! March 13, 2004
By Kelli Hanson
Format:Paperback
This is a funny and easy-to-read picture book with hilarious illustrations, perfect for the 3-6 year-old in your life. My son and I read this together at least 10 times, and he still remembers it fondly. The one to two sentences per page read with an easy cadence that makes the book flow, very like the original Old Lady story. Great Halloween reading!

This is a fun story. I teach kindergarten and I love books that are repetitive and have rhythm. The children wanted this story read several times.
