by Judy Sierra

Beastly Rhymes to Read After Dark Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the macabre spirit of the Halloween season, funny rhymes range from “Parasite Lost” to “Leap Halloween,” and are illustrated with gruesome graphics. Elementary school kids will want to be the first to own this outrageous fur-clad book, but librarians may prefer the standard library bound edition, minus the fur!

Topics range from a "Lonely Giant Squid" ("I'll tell you why that squid's so blue:/ You can't have friends and eat them, too.") to a seemingly innocent "Pet Show" ("Oh where, oh where can my kitty cat be?/...
