A cutely illustrated book that mentions all the fun things about Halloween, sure to get a kid excited for the holiday. Honestly, it got me excited for the holiday and I'm 27.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Prism Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Hall-O-Ween! By Tia Perkin is an enchanting tale of a child's delight and their trick-or-treat adventure.
Sweet Halloween story with beautiful illustration
I enjoyed the story with a few spooky things, some treats, the costumes, everyone celebrating the holiday, and of course the ending was perfect. It reminded me of my Halloweens as a kid. Halloween was always a celebration at our house, much like the child in the story.
If I had young children, this would be a book that I would purchase. It is available in paperback and also on KindleUnlimited.

This is a fun Halloween tale about the sounds, smells, and movements of three young trick-or-treaters! Hall-O-Ween! is light and fun read for preschool and elementary school aged kids with light and loose rhymes and colorful, entertaining illustrations.
With real owls and cats, pretend bats and spiders, and fun Halloween costumes, there aren’t scary or frightening scenes. The fonts are fitting and easy to read, and the vibrant illustrations are fun. The repetitious action words—Hoo! Hoo! Boo! Boo! Sniff! Sniff! Shriek! Shriek!—add tons of entertainment for younger readers and trick-or-treaters.
Quotes from the book:
Ding! Dong! Here’s a princess and a clown with big feet!
Creak! Creak! Cracks a door with a squeak and a whine… Who’s giving out Candy? Why, it’s Frankenstein!

Hall-O-Ween was an instant hit with my kids (ages 1, 3, 5). We've read it several times over. I discovered that my kids were sneaking it in their beds to look at instead of sleeping. My kids were also reading it all over the house. I love the bright colors used in the book. Some Halloween picture books are too scary for young kids, but this one was fun and cute. I loved the onomatopoeia used throughout the story, the rhymes, and how the book encompasses the feeling of Halloween. The word count was also appropriate for young children. This is a great book to add to your Halloween picture book collection!
Please note that I received a free copy to review, however, this is my honest opinion.

Spooky characters, like Frankenstein's monster, pumpkin carving and yummy holiday treats bring Halloween to life in this beautifully illustrated book by Tia Perkin. Perfect for any preschool or daycare hoping to get the children excited for this autumn event!

This book is a delightfully written and illustrated book featuring the traditional characters associated with Halloween and the sounds they make. It is a fun read-aloud for a classroom or Halloween party.
There are bats, zombies, spiders, ghosts, zombies, pumpkins, and trick or treaters. Perkin places a simple rhyming line with the associated sound on each page. For example, skipping, groaning, knocking, etc. Lots of enjoyment for toddlers, preschoolers and elementary age readers who will find just enough excitement without being too scared.
Highly recommended for ages two through seven.

This is a great book of Halloween sounds for the little ones, ages 0-7. The illustrations are out of this world gorgeous. They shine off the page. I highly recommend this rhyming book that I love.
..Eeeek! Eeeek! Shriek the bats. Sniff, Sniff, All the cookies and candy and cider. Zip! Snap! Now the dinosaur's ready for frights. "A spooky little rhyming book," says the author.
I borrowed this book on a Kindle Unlimited website and so can you.

Hoo Hoo says the owl.
The leaves on the tree go scratch scratch.
What does a ghost say?
What noise do bats make?
What do you say at the door when you go house to house for candy on Halloween?
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great colored hand drawn pictures & proper font & writing style. A very well written children’s spooky Halloween story book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s spooky Halloween movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

HALL-O-WEEN! is a delightful Halloween picture book. Each page features brightly colored and fun illustrations of Halloween events/surroundings, including getting dressed in costumes, owls, spiders, decorating for Halloween, and of course trick-or-treating!
The text is rhyming and features sounds on each page related to Halloween, including knock knock on the door, ding dong when friends arrive, eek eek for the bat, and so much more! Toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary school-aged readers will delight in this fun celebration of Halloween.
This book is perfect to get readers into the mood of the season in a seriously fun way. The sounds, colorful images, and many Halloween themes combine perfectly for young readers to giggle and enjoy. I also really love that the font is bright and large, making this book very easy to read aloud. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun picture book about the fun of Halloween!
Please note that I received an ARC. All opinions are my own.

I have two kids. A fifth grader and a third grader. We have read books together almost every night since they were babies. So, of course, I had to read this with them.
I enjoyed the story. The illustrations were cute and vibrant. I love the color choices. The story seems geared for a younger audience than my two, but my kids enjoyed it. Definitely one to read out loud. 😀

Very Talented Author and Illustrator
This is a very well done book! The pictures are so cute. Young children will love looking at all the Halloween pictures and picking out their favorite! Plus the rhyme is good, the “noise” words work well for Halloween with a lot of creepy sounds, and it tells an entire story! I would definitely buy this print book for a gift!

Loved this book... such fun and colourful illustrations. Fun fonts and characters in this story will make this a classroom favourite for sure. Witches, dinosaurs, ghosts and full of Halloween fun. After I read the book to my newphew he asked me to read it again. Definitely a story that can be enjoyed over and over again.

CUTEST HALLOWEEN BOOK EVER!!!
My girls and I absolutely loved this book!!! The story and illustrations were perfect and very entertaining! As soon as we read it, my girls screamed to read it again, lol. We initially got the ebook, but because of how much my girls loved it...now, we're purchasing the book as well 🙂

My children love these little books. They thoroughly enjoy each and every story, as if they are all unique and individual without any cause for similarity among them. Even though sometimes, they might seem tedious and repetitive to me as a parent, I do enjoy being able to read short-stories to my children that are clean and respective.

Amazon had a Kindle freebie deal on this book today, so I decided to take advantage and check it out for the spooky season! Great, colorful illustrations that build the excitement of Halloween night, and it's fun to read along with the sounds of the holiday.

Boring and not engaging
My son hated this story. It didn’t have enough story thread to keep him interested. It’s a shallow story with minimal substance.
Glad we got the book for free because I’d feel cheated if we’d paid for this story.
