I loved this book as a child
I loved this book as a child and now I'm able to pass this on to my children. This quickly became a daily read in our household and my 5 and 2 year old beg me to read it to them. The illustrations are mesmerizing and captivating. They love looking at the different characters and helping read the pages. Definitely a year round favorite!! I wish they made this in a hardcover becuase the paperback has worn out quickly. 5 stars!

My wife is a retired preschool teacher and loves this book. So, we needed to get it for our granddaughter who absolutely loves it. The spiral binding makes the book much easier to read and hopefully helps keep it looking like new longer. Great purchase, exactly what we were looking for. Timeless Halloween tale!

Purchased this because my kids loved it so much the first time, the book fell apart. Well, this one didn't last long either and this time, I didn't let them read it on their own and it still fell apart. It's a fun story and my kids adored it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nette Halloweengeschichte
Reviewed in Germany on November 18, 2015
Verified Purchase
Die Geschichte wird aus der Sicht einer Katzenfamilie an Halloween erzählt. Es erscheinen verschiedene verkleidete Wesen, (Hexen, Vampire, Teufel, Goblins, etc) und sorgen für große Unruhe bei den Vierbeinern.
Die Geschichte ist nett. Ich hatte sie für den Englischunterricht in der Grundschule bestellt, aber nicht eingesetzt. Bei meinen Kindern (3-8 J.) ist sie ins Deutsche übersetzt gut angekommen. Die CD ist ebenfalls gut einsetzbar.
