Reviews

[Tye]

This was a good book.

It had basic info on the origins of Halloween.

It told of legends and folklore of cats, witches, vampires, and jack-o-lanterns.

It had some great craft activities in the back about making homemade costumes and masks.

The jokes throughout were hilarious.

Fun to read as a family.

Very cute guide for elementary school aged children who have questions about Halloween, at least the very basics of the holiday and it's origin.
