Boynton celebrates Halloween!
There's a big round moon in a dark, dark sky. The chickens are nervous. Do you know why?
Strange things are happening. One chicken saw a pumpkin with flickering eyes, another spied a mouse of enormous size. They all saw a wizard and a witch, and a spooky robot. “WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? / Relax, silly chickens! It’s HALLOWEEN!”

Eek! Halloween! is a holiday favorite that's all treat and no tricks. Oversized lap edition also available—perfect for reading aloud!

This beloved board book is available in two sizes!

Smaller size is just right for little hands to hold. Larger lap-sized edition is perfect for read-aloud.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-K—The chickens know that something odd is going on. A duck wearing gigantic monster feet? Pumpkins with eerie faces? Their anxiety mounts until a friend pops up to reassure them: "Relax, silly chickens! It's Halloween." This bite-size board book is infused with the sense of whimsy that fans of the author's work have grown to appreciate. She pairs readable text in verse with winsome, thick-lined, round-eyed illustrations to create a delightful introduction to this potentially frightening holiday. Readers will love the cast of enticing creatures—a pig wearing a chicken suit, a large elephant in a mouse costume, a pair of grinning felines in wizard and witch hats, and the soft-bellied chickens (an endearingly expressive bunch, looking around uncertainly and grimacing forlornly)—each placed against a simple backdrop. Boynton maintains a slightly eerie mood but keeps everything just gentle enough to appeal to the intended audience. VERDICT A great addition to board book collections, especially where Halloween titles are needed. Kids anticipating their first Halloween will be easily convinced, along with the initially nervous poultry, that the upcoming holiday is full of spooky fun.—Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal

Review

“Kids anticipating their first Halloween will be easily convinced....that the upcoming holiday is full of spooky fun.” —School Library Journal

“The pigs are cute, and the coloring and illustrations evoke a warmth...emphasizing all the fun Halloween has to offer. An excellent, rounded effort from a creator who knows how to deliver. (Board book. 1-3)”—Kirkus Reviews

“With humorous rhymes and boisterous, expressive drawings, “EEK! Halloween!” is a treat.” —The Washington Post

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children's author, songwriter, producer, animator, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over seventy-five children's books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times Bestsellers. More than 85 million of her books have been sold, "mostly to friends and family," she says. She has also written—with Michael Ford—and produced six albums of renegade children's music. Three of her six albums have been certified Gold [over 500,000 copies sold] and "Philadelphia Chickens," nominated for a Grammy, has been certified Platinum [over 1 million copies sold.] Boynton has also directed twelve music videos of her songs, including the award-winning "One Shoe Blues" starring B. B. King, "Alligator Stroll" starring Josh Turner, and "Tyrannosaurus Funk" (animation) sung by Samuel L. Jackson. Early in the pandemic, she collaborated remotely with Yo-Yo Ma on three animated shorts: "Mooing Home" for Mr. Ma's Songs of Comfort project; "Chanson Profonde", a good-natured sendup of French chanson; and, as a companion to her book of the same title, "Jungle Night", Boynton's cello/guitar/percussion arrangement of Erik Satie's "Gymnopédie No. 1". She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.

Love but..
I got this book for my toddler and she absolutely loved it! My only complaint is that straight out of the packaging I noticed the book was scratched up, mind you I bought it brand new and NOT used. I purchased another Sandra Boyntin book and the cover of that one was also scratched. The pages inside didn’t have any signs of scratches or tears just the cover. Not sure if it was on amazons part but was a little bummed by it.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 2.5 year old LOVES this book! 🎃
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2021

I started reading Sandra Boynton books to my son when he was an infant, but they’ve become even more useful now that he’s a toddler with a speech delay. They’re fun, catchy, and have cute illustrations. We have a couple Halloween books (Spookie Pookie & Boo, Baa, La La La) and this is the perfect addition to those.

As his speech therapist recommended, I usually read him the story a few times so he knows how it goes, then start leaving the last word or phrase off on each page so he can attempt to finish it. This book reads a little differently than some of her others, so it’s not always easy to do… but he loves trying! There’s some funny chickens in here that crack him up… he also loves counting how many there are on each page. I think we’ll be able to read this story year-round.

Highly recommend this affordable book for infants, toddlers, and even little kids! Family friendly and funny!

Hope this helps! ☺️

All boynton books are good. This one is silly and cute with not too scary chickens. My granddaughter is too young to enjoy the humor this Halloween but by next Halloween she’ll think it’s fun. This year her parents can enjoy the chickens.

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprising favorite
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2018

We love Sandra Boynton books. They're great for little hands, and our daughter has enjoyed them since she was an infant.

I thought this one would be a bit of a gimmicky holiday thing, and I guess it kind of is, but we have still really enjoyed it and it has been a favorite for a while. The subject matter interests my daughter, and it has some memorable lines she learned quickly. She started declaring "What's going on here??" in all sorts of situations, which has been fun.

The story has kind of a mystery to it that keeps the child engaged, while also making reference to thematic Halloween elements that they're seeing a lot around them in the fall but don't yet understand.
