review 1: As a twenty-five year old who loves Halloween and everything creepy...I give this book five stars. So, why the two star rating? I ordered these books through a book club to build up my second grade classroom library. I always try to look through them before putting them into little hands and have to say I was a little taken aback. My kids are between the ages of 6-8. The recommendation for the age on this book is 6-10. My students should fit right into that. The problem? Half the jokes in the book, which I thought were hysterical, would have completely gone right over the heads of my students. Between big, and sometimes inappropriate, words for six year olds and needing to understand funny, annoying real-life situations adults stumble across, it made no sense to me to targ... moreet a second grade audience. I read an article where the author justified using the line about naked ladies by saying he needed it to make the rhyme work. Okay...but most of the rhymes didn't really work throughout a lot of the book. You'd get into reading a certain rhythm and it would change making it hard to read aloud. A book for middle school kids who have more life experience? Sure. A book for adults who love dark fun? Absolutely. A book for six year olds? No. If a parent wants to read this book to their child, I think that's fine but they should read the book with them. As a teacher who purchases her classroom books out of pocket, I would have liked to know my kiddos weren't a very great target audience. Oh well, looks like these quirky books are headed for my personal bookshelf... review 2: We're all becoming Rex fans. Rex ran a contest on his blog for monster haiku and the Possum won a copy of this book signed to her, with a doodle illustrating her haiku. I think my kids are awesome, as is Adam Rex.***2008 November 2Quality horror-film based comic poetry. The Headless Horseman's Blog is spot on, but it's all great. The Japanese rubber-suit-monster haiku were especially pleasing.We all loved it. less
