Extreme Halloween: The Ultimate Guide to Making Halloween Scary Again

Every year I look forward to the next Tom Nardone masterpiece. The stuff he does with pumpkins is inspiring. Pumpkins with flames coming out of them. Pumpkins in chains that form archways. Pumpkins that create giant insects. Pumpkins that form the weird heads on fake corpses. Anything one might imagine and lots that we never could without Tom Nardone. So funny. So grotesque. This Halloween book is an expanded one that has suggestions for costumes-pranks-party food-creatures, and of course, Pumpkins! What would Halloween be without 'em? Or, without the genius of Tom Nardone? Highly recommended. This Halloween book is for the older kids. Teens will have fun with this exciting Halloween book. Leave us your comments.

Extreme Halloween: The Ultimate Guide to Making Halloween Scary Again

The Teeny Tiny Ghost

This is ghostly trick or treat fun for tiny tots. The tiny ghost discovers that haunting is very hard, especially for a ghost who is scared. The secrets of his heritage seem out of his grasp until one Halloween night when he is motivated to be a protector of his cats and his home. The pictures of the tiny ghost trying out his scary voice, frightening himself and then puffing himself up to look scary are a hoot. Audience participation for sound effects makes this a crowd pleaser. This is a great Halloween children's book for kids ages 4-8.

Arthur's Halloween: Book & CD

Sure to be popular due to the success of the new PBS television series, these new additions to the series demonstrate the vocal talent of author/illustrator Marc Brown. Arthur's creator reads the texts, giving each character a distinctive voice. He is able to portray the females, like mother and D.W., while avoiding stereotypical high, squeaky voices. The production values on the recordings are excellent, with background music and helpful sound effects. The slamming of car doors, the sound of rain or footsteps, and other sound effects give the tapes the quality of old radio shows. Each tape opens with the theme song, "Say Hello to Arthur." Both sides of each tape are the same except for the page-turning signal bell on one side. In Arthur's Family Vacation, rain ruins the family's stay at the beach until Arthur thinks of activities they can do. In Arthur's Halloween, Arthur and D.W. learn you can't presume a house is haunted just because the outside looks run down. The artwork in each children's book features Brown's customary cartoon-like ink and watercolor illustrations that add humor to the stories. The tapes work well even without the kids books. This Halloween kids book is for kids reading levels ages 4-8. Like this post and share it with your friends and family. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Trick or Treat: A Peanuts Halloween

I will admit to being a somewhat casual reader of comic strips. I have a few favorites I follow regularly, but around the holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is really when I sit down and read a lot of newspaper strips. I guess I just love seeing how they celebrate the holidays and their usually quite funny. This collection of Peanuts strips is all about Halloween as Charlie and the gang go trick-or-treating, have parties, and dress up for the season. It is not a complete collection of all of Schulz strips to be sure, but it is a nice, representative gathering of material culled from over the years. also included throughout is mostly forgettable tips for throwing parties, decorating, and recipes. None of it worth much and I would have preferred to see more comics and some in color as opposed to that stuff. all in all a nice collection. I highly recommend this children's book, especially for any die-hard Peanuts fan. It was wonderful to see how Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the gang changed over time. And I happen to like Schulz's humor better when he first started writing and drawing; it was more childlike. The comics are Halloween and monster themed and some of them are hilarious, ones I have not seen in a long time. Of course there is lots about "The Great Pumpkin" but how could it be coming Halloween and Linus does not mention him! Read it and enjoy. Good old fashioned comics and humor! This Halloween kids book is for children reading levels ages 4-8.
