Children's Book Review: Scary, Scary Halloween
Scary, Scary Halloween
Written by: Even Bunting
Illustrated by: Jan Brett
Published by: Clarion Books, 1986
40 pages
from goodreads.com:
Four pairs of eyes stare from the blackness to watch fearsome creatures trick-or-treat.
* This is an oldie but goodie Halloween book. Award-winning author Eve Bunting has written over 250 books and illustrator Jan Brett (a family favorite) is also an award-winning author and illustrator of many books. Written in rhyme, this book is told from the perspective of something with two green eyes, shining in the night. It watches as children go trick-or-treating dressed up as goblins, witches, and ghosts. Only at the end of the book is the identity of the narrator revealed.
* This book was borrowed from the library.
Family Rating: 1 1/2 thumbs up.

Hi, can i ask you something? I’m looking for children books with “scary” animal illustrations like the big bad wolf (or a fox) eating pigs (or seven kids or Red Riding hood or birds in Chicken Little) or being pictured with a fat stomach. Could be any other animal as well. Have you seen any book of this sort? Any sort of help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
