What a great book for Halloween. The story can be sung to "Farmer in the Dell" which gets all the kids involved. But the best part of the book are the wonderul pictures. Each page is full of marvelous detail about Halloween. Creating a warm and friendly image for young children. Each time we read the book we discover a treat that we missed the time before. These wonderful pictures truly bring this book alive.

My three-year-old twins love this book! Easy to repeat verses, fantastic illustrations, a classic. They even sing the verses in the car when we aren't reading!

I discovered this one at the local library, but my three-year-old loves it so much we have to buy our own copy! The intricate folk-art drawings are lovely and as I saw one reviewer mentioned already, you notice something new almost every time you look. The fun for my son, is that the text is sung to the tune of the Farmer in the Dell. He absolutely loves it and makes me read it every night. I find him looking at the book all by himself and making up his own verses to the tune. That for me is a sure sign of a great book!

What a terrific Halloween Book! The beautiful illustrations dance off the pages. This a Halloween must for children of all ages! My 6th grade girl scout troop likes the book so much that they are reading it to a 2nd grade brownie troop for Halloween. And then they will teach the brownies the song "The Witch Casts Spell". I think this book will become a Halloween classic.
