Skelly’s Halloween would be the perfect book for the young Halloween crowd. They will enjoy the silly antics that go along with a sweet story of a skeleton that just wants to go trick-or-treating as he is only awake for this one day. And all he wants to do is to celebrate Halloween. However, he has an accident that just makes him go all to pieces! And well….it takes more than the all the kings horses and kings men to put Skelly back together again. […]
Some Ghouls Do
Halloween. There is probably no better holiday. Okay, I am not into the spooky aspects of the day, but the fun and child-like qualities of the holiday is what get my spirit flying. And, of course, CANDY! And Stumpkin has all the fun of the holiday. This pumpkin is perfect: rounder than a basketball, more orange than a traffic cone, not any bad sides! However, he has one small flaw: he has a stump and not a steam. Therefore, nobody wants him to be their […]
When you need google eyes with your book
Usually, I am not a Pout-Pout fish fan. However, I know that he is very popular and have recommended him to my customers many times. There is a certain charm about the books, but over all, it is lost on me. Yet, with Pout-Pout’s Halloween Faces by Deborah Diesen, I enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a fun and simple board book that I would have given to my nephews, cousins and other children I know as an anytime gift. The google-eyes are a […]
“Relax, silly chickens! It’s HALLOWEEN!”
Halloween is the BEST holiday ever. Even better than my birthday and Christmas. And Eek! Halloween is a Sandra Boynton book, so ’nuff said. She is better than Halloween. Okay maybe I would not go that far, but I would go as far to say it might be hard to find a better combination for a Halloween book. Boynton’s funky chickens are at it again. They do not know what to do about the creepy events that are going on: “Witches, wizards, robots, and an […]
The Coolest Ghoul in School
Ghoul School by Kevin O’Malley is one of those books where I am not “jumping up and down” screaming, “This is the best book EVER!” But it is one of those books where I will be recommending it to people. Mostly, this would be a great read for your library Halloween story time. Or the classroom read when you are at the end of the day (as it is not a Halloween story), or before the Holiday (because it can be a Halloween story), or […]
Getting in the Halloween spirit
Mother Ghost: Nursery Rhymes for Little Monsters by Roland Garrigue is my go-to Halloween story this year. It is superbly funny and quirky and has the most fun illustrations to compliment the text. However, the illustrations are not for everyone. They do have a uniqueness that make them not have a “soft” Halloween look. A coworker of mine said that while she is sure they work well for the text, she was not really loving the illustrations. They are not completely realistic and are slightly […]
