Product Description |
|
Emily is so excited, she is dancing. Tonight is Halloween, and she is getting dressed to go out. What costume will she wear? She has a cape that her grandma bought to go with the skirt that her grandpa brought. There are socks with stripes on the side, a purse with strings untied. She has a necklace all twisty and black, and a spooky pointed hat. A cumulative rhyme and charming pictures bring Emily to life as she prepares for an evening that is sure to be creepy-and lots of fun. |

Cute book |
|
This book is very cute for Halloween. The repetition is good for developing early reading skills. |

big disappointment |
|
I had high hopes for this after reading the other positive reviews but, unfortunately, this book fell quite short. We ordered about a dozen childrens books for Halloween and this one was the worst, by far. The scratchy illustrations and annoying, repetitive, rhyme wore thin on my wife and I before we even made it through half the book. I know my 1 star review is in the minority of reviews for this book but this book was simply bad; there are so many other great books out there, I'd suggest you spend your money elsewhere. |

Non Scary Halloween story for Preschool aged |
This story is told in repetitive verse which tends to capture the attention of young children. It is similar in structure to "the house that Jack built", where each sentence repeats and then builds upon the previous sentence to tell the story. This story follows Emily as she gets dressed in her costume for Halloween.
Overall, the sing-songy kind of rhyme was good, and the illustrations were colorful and fun, but the story itself didn't hold much excitement for my 4yo. We borrowed this from the library, and it only got one read before we returned it.
For a book with a similar story format but more of an interesting plot, I would recommend "Inside a House That Is Haunted" by Alyssa Satin Capucilli and Tedd Arnold. |

Very fun! |
|
By the time my 4-year-old and I get to the middle of this book, he's laughing so hard we have to take a break! It's a Halloween version of the old "House that Jack Built" story from Mother Goose. It's wonderfully adorable and very engaging for kids! |
