Halloween Howlers

Apples and Pumpkins

A little girl visits a local farm with her mother and father. When the leaves on the trees turn red, yellow, and orange it means it is time for picking apples and pumpkins. Written by Anne Rockwell and illustrated by her daughter Lizzy, this picture book (first published in 1989) is modest and straightforward. The rosy-cheeked family drives to the farm where they are greeted by the owner, Mr. Comstock, who immediately gives them a basket perfect for apple picking. Geese, chickens, and a turkey follow the family as they walk to the orchard. The little girl climbs a small tree to grab the reddest apples. After their baskets is full they head over to the pumpkin field, where Dad cuts the best one from the vine. These fall traditions are followed by Halloween activities. A full-page spread illustrates a partially carved jack-o'-lantern as well as the finished product, glowing in the dark. Finally, it is time to go trick-or-treating. Mom hands out apples, not candy, to costumed children, while Dad and daughter go trick-or-treating up the street. Wearing a black robe, pointy hat, and green mask with a long warty nose, the little girl is dressed as a witch, of course! A good-natured story, that shows a family outside doing fun fall and Halloween activities. The simple text is easy for young listeners to follow and could be useful in a primary classroom to teach sequential events and descriptive writing.

Weirdo Halloween

Trixie The Halloween Fairy

With this "Rainbow Magic" series, the author seeks to tap into current fascination with fairies. This "special edition" series book has particular appeal, focusing as it does on the fun, exciting holiday of Halloween. Rachel and Kirsty are looking ahead to trick-or-treating as fairies, but their plans are quickly interrupted by the mean spirited antics of Jack Frost. Frost had his goblins steal three magical pieces of Halloween candy from Trixie, the Halloween Fairy. Fortunately, they lost the candy in the process; at least they do not have it! Unfortunately, unless Trixie can find the candies and return them to Fairyland before Frost's minions find them, Halloween will be ruined! That is where Rachel and Kirsty come in. Trixie needs the girls' help to find the chocolate bar, candy corn, and caramel apple. The pacing of this Halloween kids book is slow and the action is surprisingly passive. The true hero of the book seems to be Trixie's Fairyland kitten Moonlight. Still, fairy loving readers are likely to enjoy this book, and the low cost might justify its purchase as an appealing holidayspecific option for middle readers. This Halloween children's book is for reading levels ages 9-12. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other books you would like to have reviewed.

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.
