More About the Author

P.K. Hallinan began writing children's books 35 years ago when his wife asked him to make a book for their two young sons as a Christmas gift. He did, and the feedback he got from friends and neighbors inspired him to write more books. Since then, P.K. has written and illustrated 89 children's books and has sold more than 8,000,000 copies worldwide.

P.K. was born in Los Angeles in 1944 and spent his youth primarily in Bethesda, Maryland and in the San Fernando Valley. Although P.K. never studied art, his disappointment with the work of the artist assigned to illustrate his first book, motivated him to learn to draw. He has been illustrating his own books ever since.

"If I did any one thing right," says P.K., "I decided very early on to write books that help children and parents alike have better and happier lives. That decision has kept many of my books in-print for more than 25 years, because the values I teach are timeless."

P.K. is also an ordained minister and pastors his own small church, Joy Chapel, in Ashland, Oregon. He lives with his wife, Jeanne, in the mountains above Ashland and also at the beach, in Brookings, Oregon.

Like the other holiday books by P.K. Hallinan, it is written in such a way that it captures the excitement of children as they get ready to trick-or-treat. The illustrations are adorable and the poetic writing captures the fun of Halloween night! A great book to introduce Halloween to young children.

My kids love this book and so do I. We use it to get in the mood for Halloween and trick-or-treating. It's written in rhyme so it's a good poetry lesson too. I'm reading it to my son's class for their Halloween party.
