From Publishers Weekly
Several volumes allow kids to spend the howl-iday with familiar friends. The porcine siblings from Tuck in the Pool make an encore appearance in Tuck's Haunted House by Martha Weston. Tuck tries to banish his sister from his Halloween lair, but her presence adds a spine-tinglingly perfect finishing touch. Ages 4-7.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-With her deft touch for capturing realistic sibling relationships, Weston delivers another fun tale of the piggy brother and younger sister from Tuck in the Pool (Clarion, 1995). Older and wiser, Tuck is focused on creating his first-ever haunted house in the family garage. Tagalong Bunny is determined to help him, making unwelcome suggestions and doing her best to get in the way. True to his role as big brother, the piglet refuses her help, claiming "-you're too little. You'll just mess things up." Ignoring her antics as best he can, he continues to work, creating a cauldron of worms (cold spaghetti), a toilet-paper mummy, ghoul's eyeballs (peeled grapes), and an icky, drippy forest. "Don't touch it.- You're wrecking it," Tuck complains as Bunny wiggles through his Tunnel of Doom. When his guests arrive, they receive an unexpected fright from the wailing Evil Monster Baby. An attentive audience will guess at the mysterious creature's identity, enjoying the comedy along with the mild thrills and chills. Weston's watercolor-and-pencil illustrations animate the siblings' rivalry and affection for one another, and skillfully depict the haunted-house fun as costumed, wide-eyed pigs flee from the frightening sound. This engaging story will introduce a young audience to non-trick-or-treating Halloween fun.
