Halloween Night

by Marjorie Den Murray

Halloween Night Cover

Staff Pick

A household of monsters and witches prepares a scary Halloween party for their neighborhood trick-or-treaters. But it turns out that they've done their job too well — the kids run shrieking! The creatures don't mind, however, because now they have all those delicious grubs and rotten eggs all to themselves. Loosely based on "The Night Before Christmas," this quirky, rhyming story is a great read-aloud, and kids will be delightfully grossed-out.

Publisher Comments:

'Twas Halloween night, Tand all through the house, Every creature was stirring, including the mouse . . .

The witch is cooking. Banshees are singing. The goody bags are oozing with ooey, gooey snacks. Everyone's warming up for the best Halloween party ever.

Get ready for a frighteningly fun time, because you're invited!

Synopsis:

The neighborhood witch is getting ready for the biggest night of the year. Helping her are Ogre and Olaf and all their friends--zombies, ghosts, and mummies. But they may have gone a little overboard with their decorations. Will the trick-or-treaters come to the party? Full color.
