Eek! Halloween! cover

In this holiday favorite, it’s time for Halloween in a board book that’s all treat and no tricks from the one and only Sandra Boynton.

Strange things are happening. One chicken saw a pumpkin with flickering eyes, another spied a mouse of enormous size. They all saw a wizard and a witch, and a spooky robot, too. “WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Relax, silly chickens! It’s HALLOWEEN!”

There’s a big round moon
in a dark, dark sky.
The chickens are nervous.
Do you know why?

“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 *
