Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Rita Lorraine Hubbard, The Original H.I.R. (Historical Investigative Reporter)

Halloween is coming, and it's time to turn your mind to all things creepy. The 13 Days of Halloween, by Carol Greene, is by far the best book (and the creepiest) to get you in the proper Halloween mood.

In The 13 Days of Halloween, a ghastly ghoul gives 13 creeped-out gifts to his friend for Halloween. The gifts range from cooked worms to giggling ghosts to haywire bats, and all are presented in the purple haze of a graveyard setting under the light of a creepy moon.

This is a clever book for readers who love Halloween and creepy fun. The ghouls and their gifts are expertly illustrated by artist Tim Raglin, and the story is presented in clever and silly rhyme that should be read (or chanted) to the tune of The 12 Days of Christmas.

A great book to prepare for Halloween, or for family-time around the fire place. However, parents should be warned that this book may not be appropriate for the very young.

That being said...ENJOY. This one is destined to be a Halloween holiday favorite.
