Oct 11, Kathryn rated it really liked it Shelves: Some of the illustrations are really cute and clever I loved how one of the ghouls looks like he's making the pose from "The Scream" painting, haha!
The are all eating, flying, and "kicking up their heels" at this very active party. The phones are dead. Sep 22, Joella www. She discovers they hold the Chamber of Fear and is ready to free her mother's spirit. Halloween cuteness is not my thing, but I can respect the alliteration and action words in this story.
I'm not sure I especially liked the ending--it wasn't quite what I was expecting but it was kind of cute in its way, though very sensitive young trick-or-treaters might not like it. Aug 16, Linda rated it liked it Shelves: The illustrations are a lot of fun, and what some of the guests get up to is really quite funny - but - the prose was often a bit stilted to read and sensitive littlies may find the ending a bit much. Jul 12, Boni rated it liked it. I liked the illustrations a lot, but the meter was problematic in too many spots for me.
Nov 05, Diana Thomsen rated it it was ok Shelves: I'm pretty sure my overall bias against Halloween books played a part in my feelings toward this book, but, quite frankly, it was wordy and had really iffy meter in the stanzas. I did like the fact that the kids scared off the monsters, but, overall, I wasn't impressed with this one. Sep 14, Molly Cluff Library!

Sep 15, Melissa Kearney rated it it was amazing. Concept Book, Counting Book Theme s: The full moon shines. The bats take flight. The spooky party guests are enjoying themselves until, all of a sudden, the doorbell ring Title: The spooky party guests are enjoying themselves until, all of a sudden, the doorbell rings and the guests scatter when they see a group of young trick-or-treaters.
More and more guests arrive for the party until the pages are filled with their antics, including carving pumpkins, dancing, and generally making a mess of things. The reader is easily caught up in the illustrations to find and count the many different characters portrayed--from skeletons to werewolves to witches and mummies--all of which are wonderfully drawn by the author. The poetry works well, especially when read aloud, and is delightful.
The double page spread with all the children trick or treating is a good visual break in the illustrations and pulls the reader more into the story. As the party guests rush to leave in fear of the children partygoers, the reader counts backwards until there is only the ghost left. But is he frightened? Unusual counting concepts, humorous illustrations, all nicely put together with a surprise twist to the ending.
