Halloween Night
They all come out on this Halloween night--a diving bat, a hooting owl, an inky black cat, a ghost-costumed child, a regular old dog--and each one contributes to a chain of events that transforms a little mouse.

A fun, simple Halloween read for younger children. The first half of the book has a repetitive pattern that students can repeat with you. And the action in the book all centers around a lucky mouse who is happy at the end.
The illustrations are bright and cartoonish with an edge. The dimensions and embellishments remind me of Tim Burton. And while they appear painted, they look computer generated which gives them a crisp feel that compliments the spooky Halloween night. They far outdo the simple...more

With illustrations reminiscent of Tim Burton, Halloween Night tells the happenings on Halloween centered around a Jack-O'-Lantern to the rhythm of "The House That Jack Built."
After the fourth or fifth time reading this, my little one had it memorized. She loved reading it over + over again, especially adding the sound effects we do for the animals.
A fun, colorful story--"The House that Jack Built" Halloween style! :-) A great read aloud with its cumulative story and eye-popping illustrations.
love a Jimmy Pickering illustration so had to pick this up. a fun and nifty take on The House That Jack Built. a great holiday read!
This was a totally great Halloween book. Frank loved it and so did I. The illustrations were great. It was a lot of fun.
Fun sort of cumulative story about Halloween, would be a good toddler storytime book.
A “House That Jack Built” tale for Halloween (“This is the cat, all inky black, who stalks the owl, who hoots at the bat...”), this book is rollicking fun for preschoolers and early elementary students. Pickering’s spiraling pumpkin vines and google-eyed Halloween creatures are the real magic that makes this book work so well. Read it aloud for Halloween fun, challenging older kids to follow it up by creating their own cumulative tales.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! I mostly love the art, yes I am a Jimmy Pickering fan. So very cute.
Really cute illustrations!
