Happy Halloween!

Liesbet Slegers

CLAVIS PUB, Sep 1, 2011 - Juvenile Fiction - 32 pages

The fun traditions of Halloween are celebrated in this engaging picture book in which the whole family prepares for the big day. Daddy carves the pumpkin into a scary monster face, while Mommy makes pumpkin soup and pumpkin cakes with the trimmings. Everyone makes scary costumes for the neighborhood Halloween party. After bobbing for apples, the children travel door to door collecting sweets and singing scary songs. When the excitement is over, the makeup and costumes come off, and it is time to crawl into bed, forget about the ghosts and goblins, and dream of next year's celebration. Simple shapes and just the right amount of spooky suspense introduce youngsters to a favorite holiday.

Review: Happy Halloween!

User Review  - Ingrid - Goodreads

A good simple overview of the holiday. Nothing special story-wise, but nice illustrations. It would be good for a Halloween story time for young kids. Certainly not scary.

Review: Happy Halloween!

User Review  - Paula - Goodreads

A factual account of what a little girl does on Halloween. Gorgeous bright illustrations don't think it would be engaging for a story time
