Book Review: 'On Halloween Night' by Ferida Wolff & Dolores Kozielski

✰✰✰ Count up to 13 as two little boys journey through a spooky forest to a school yard at night. Along the way they discover creatures like owls, goats, and wolves. Observing from a careful distance, the boys are in for a surprise at the end.

The Bottom Line: The atmospheric watercolor illustrations featuring each item being counted plus the two little boys on each page are the highlight of this book. Somehow the rhyming seemed a bit awkward for me. This could easily have simply been a fall book except for the witch and ghosts.  Page through the illustrations for the best effect.
