Thirteen poems to spice up the holiday that ghouls and ghosts love most. "Prelutsky's Nightmares tamed for beginning readers. They're catchy at the most rudimentary level."--Kirkus Reviews.

* Wow!  This book was first published before I was born!  Definitely an oldie!  This book caught my eye because Prelutsky is a well-known children's poet.  We are a fan of his Scranimals and my daughter has read his  poetry collections A Pizza the Size of the Sun and The New Kid on the Block.  This book was a cute collection of Halloween-themed poetry.  He writes about everything from "Bobbing for Apples" to a "Haunted House" and a "Skeleton Parade."  The illustrations have a classic, older look to them.

Family Rating: 2 thumbs up!
