[Ruth Ann · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute concept/counting book for pre-schoolers.
Beware that the illustrations, although endearing, may be too scary for some children.
It's possible to sign the whole book, but the refrain is not easy on tongue - the words don't fit well the metre.

Daycare teacher here! I get this book out every year for Halloween, and it turns into the classes favorite book!

My most recently children's picture book. So much fun to illustrate!

Illustrations were cute. And the first part of the stanza works ... but the second part doesn't "fit" the rythmn of the song (hence the three stars instead of four).

Definitely getting again for Halloween
