From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2?Various imaginary creatures dance through this rhythmic Halloween revel. In a grassy graveyard dotted with skeletal trees, they cavort to a rhymed rap beat. First the tombstones knock, "Booma Boom! Booma Boom!" Then, with each flip of the page, another being joins in: skeletons rattle, "Clacka-clack!"; ghosts moan, "Ooooa-Ooo!"; and so on. When the rhythm of the celebration reaches town, rattling dishes and syncopating clocks, curious townspeople of all races rush to join the fun?"Even the mayor boogied to the beat." Sketchy cartoon drawings animate the pages, adding childlike images and movement. As each new group joins in, the others continue. Finally the hillside is filled with kicking, twirling, leaping people and creatures. The rollicking beat and lively illustrations make this a welcome addition to Halloween collections.?Nancy Seiner, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

From Booklist
Ages 3^-6. There's not much story here, just a rhythmic rhyme that describes a Halloween gathering in the cemetery. The musical moans and rattling bones add up to a rock beat so catchy that even the neighbors head over to the cemetery to join the fun. The cartoon-style art is more funny than frightening, and while it isn't a first purchase, kids should find the book an amusing enough diversion.
