Halloween Night,
Murray, Marjorie Dennis. Halloween Night. Illustrations by Brandon Dorman. HarperCollinsPublishers. 2008.
This is a delightful Halloween version of “The Night Before Christmas”. “‘Twas Halloween night, and all through the house Every creature was stirring, including the mouse; The walls were aflutter with little brown bats, While hordes of black spiders crept out of the cracks.” The digital art illustrations are vibrant, rich in colors and diverse perspectives, and filled with humorous creepy creatures and gorgeous bugs inside a spooky haunted house. In a nice twist, the scary tricksters that include a fairy blowing bubblegum are scared away by the inhabitants of the haunted house, “From the ten little tricksters came ten little shrieks, And away they all ran down the cobblestone street, Dropping their bags and spilling their treats.” This wonderful picture book is a perfect read-aloud for a Halloween story time.

|Gorgeous Illustrations!,
A great book to get into the Halloween Spirit! The story is very cute, and the illustrations are gorgeous. My kids made me read it several times in a row, lingering over all the details in the drawings.

|A Top 2 Halloween book,
This book has well-written rhymes and INCREDIBLE artwork. There’s so much to see that reading it to a room of kindergarteners took forever because they had to examine every detail of every page and comment. And every page is worth taking a good, long look. It had a great flow to the writing, too. This is a year-round must-read/must-look.
