Reviews

With humorous rhymes and boisterous, expressive drawings, EEK! Halloween! is a treat. * The Washington Post *
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. * Kirkus Reviews *
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....that the upcoming holiday is full of spooky fun. * School Library Journal *
