'We shared this book with Year 2 and Year 3 children, as part of our reading group. The children loved the stories and it will be perfect to share on Halloween time where children will get dressed up. It reminded both myself and the children of the real meaning of Halloween and it was beautiful to share.' - Juro reading group. 'This is a lovely book for small children. I love reading this with my children at bedtime or when we are having some one on one time. I find that it really captures their interest because as well as the stories themselves, children will also get ideas from this book to sing, dress up and play games for Halloween. The design and illustration are also wonderful. It would make a lovely little gift for a toddler at Halloween.' - Bus reading blog. 'We loved this little book!
