This book has twelve poems/ little stories about both Halloween and ghosts/ goblins/ etc. All the poems rhyme and are rather cute. The pictures and poems are very cute.

Collection of short poems on the topic of Halloween

I picked this book up because I remember loving it as a child. Halloween is my favorite time of the year and I remember always loving to read books about it. This book was fun to read over again because it brought back memories. I liked it because there wasn't just one story, there were thirteen.

The illustrations are great, and the book rhymes so it's easy and fun to read. I remember when I was little I used to think I was such a good reader because this book is longer than a regular picture book, and has many different short stories. It has stories that cover everything that happens during Halloween. There was no set plot because each story was different, but the over all theme was Halloween. In my opinion this is a great and fun book for 2nd graders because it's a step up from a regular picture book. Show Less

Author/illustrator team Jack Prelutsky and Marylin Hafner present thirteen Halloween poems in this seasonal early reader. Creating costumes, carving jack-o-lanterns, trick-or-treating on the big night, bobbing for apples at a party, avoiding the local haunted house—all these and other themes are
It's Halloween is the second holiday poetry collection I have read from this pair, following upon their It's Thanksgiving (they also worked together on It's Christmas), and I found it delightful! The poems themselves were entertaining, and read well, capturing the fun and fright of Halloween night and its attendant customs. The artwork had a lovely vintage style, reminding me at times of illustrator like Trina Schart Hyman (high praise indeed!). Recommended to anyone looking for Halloween poetry collections for younger children, perhaps five to eight.
