Seasonal books are always fun. I remember my time in grade school fondly. I loved the holidays best no matter which one it was. There was always something festive going on and I loved being a part of it.
Halloween was no different. In fact, it was and still remains one of the funnest holidays of the year. I'm convinced Halloween was created for kids. What other day of the year can they dress up, stay up late and eat as much candy as they'd like?

I love the text for this book so much!!! The descriptive words are superbly chosen and the text just flows so nicely and evokes all the things I enjoy about Halloween. The format is good, too, with "WHEN....happens" on one page and "THEN....do this" on the other; such as when October comes, then it's time to start thinking of what costume you'll wear, etc. The only thing I didn't completely love about this book is the illustrations--they are nice in their own way, but not

I liked the variety of "halloweenish-ness" in the book but the repetition of the "when...then" story structure made me yawn a bit towards the end. Of course, my preschool audience loved the book which describes the season so clearly that one can smell the fall leaves and feel the crisp air. Definitely worth checking out!

Although I think it was clever to present the text as a When…Then… telling of the story, it was not enjoyable to me. It does build up the excitement for Halloween with descriptive words, but I just did not like the format. I do think it will be good though for kids to read, with the repetition and descriptive words used.

I LOVED this book =! The words are so evocative,and set the perfect Halloween mood, and the pictures are perfectly imaginatively matched. Just perfect for a cozu fall read with your little ones - or even your big ones!

I wouldn't buy this one for my kids. It is pretty boring by their standards. It's something I can see grandma buying for them because she thinks it is a "fun" non-threatening Halloween book. My kids like spooky...and this isn't.

Gorgeous, descriptive language accompanies paper collage illustrations in this perfect book describing the sights, sounds, and feeling of fall that leads up to Halloween.

Exploration of the details and activities of the pre-Halloween/fall season. Descriptive language is poetic; some lovely vocabulary! A little long.

This is a quiet entry in the Halloween category. The story is poetic and a descriptive work on the nature of Halloween. The art by Meade is lovely.

This book was a little wordy and although it was a cute story and eventually got going but a rough start.
