Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Safe for easily scared readers, this counting book firmly regulates suspense. "Three green witches cackle./ Four dead leaves crackle," but the imagined ghouls are just trick-or-treaters: "Haunted house and witches green,/ All make-believe on Halloween." Tightly framed gouaches keep the stylized ghosts and goblins (who rarely make eye contact) under control. At number 12, the counting sequence reverses into an all-out rush ("Twelve hide./ Eleven glide./ Ten howl./ Nine prowl... ") that dispels any leftover tension. Ages 4-8. (Sept.)

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1 This counting book takes youngsters from 1 to 12 and back down again through rhyming verse that features items and creatures associated with Halloween. The text is spare: "Five Jack O'Lanterns gleam./Six scary skeletons scream." Each of the numbers is allotted its own page, and is accompanied by a full-page illustration. Since she is aiming at a young audience, the author often points out the fancifulness of the various scenarios, "Haunted house and witches green,/All make-believe on Halloween." While counting down the objects, the text becomes even leaner, "Six scream. Five gleam." The vivid illustrations done in bold colors stretch from corner to corner on each page and the ghosts, witches, bats, etc., are only marginally menacing. While Halloween concept books are nothing new, this attractive title will serve as a nonthreatening read-aloud for the preschool set. Charlotte Huck's A Creepy Countdown (Greenwillow, 1998) counts up to 10 and down again while featuring mainly black-and-white illustrations in an eerier setting. Tom S. Hurlburt, La Crosse Public Library, WI

5.0 out of 5 stars Trick or Treat Countdown, August 5, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Trick or Treat Countdown (Hardcover)
My daughter screamed with laughter every time we read this beautifully illustrated book. She loved to repeat the lines over and over, rhythmic phrases like "Five leaves crackle, five witches cackle." It was a great Halloween book, as well as a terrific way to learn to count.
