Summary:

Halloween, and you know what that means! Candy! Costumes! More candy! What would happen if a kid ate a million hundred pounds of chocolate in one night? One thing’s for sure—when the kids from Ella Mentry School go trick-or-treating, it will be a Halloween to remember. 

My review:

If you know me at all, you know that I like Halloween a lot! The irony of that is, I never had a lot of candy though, not even on Halloween. So, it is with greatness to see a book where kids are loving both...maybe they are loving too much. This book is for emerging readers, and few photos were included but enough to make this reader giggle.

This author humored me. He wrote in first person dialog about the greatest night ever but more importantly, candy, candy, and more CANDY! The author's characters speak like many kids would. For example, one of the children says, "Pigment of imagination." I love that and kids would too. This book allows kids to not only enjoy a fun holiday but to see themselves.

The fun twist in the book comes in the form of the title itself, a little hint but not at all what the reader might think as they read. I loved it when it did come up and it certainly made me giggle even more.

If the writing and silliness of this book is not enough, then the author adds to the back of the books, games and jokes. Fun!

This is a must Halloween book for all the candy loving, Halloween joke loving, costume loving kid in all of us. 5 chocolate candy bars for sure.
