review 1: This reminded me a lot of the old style comic books for kids. I loved the illustrations as they really brought the story to life. There are three individual stories in this book, each with a Halloween theme for kids 7 and older. This is the first graphic novel I have read that was intended for a younger audience, and I think it really worked well. The stories are more geared toward having fun than being very frightening and the characters are cute. There are so many illustrations on each page that it is difficult to get bored with so much to look at. With three stories, you and your child have choices about how much you want to read at once. The text is easy enough for a new reader and the stories are filled with adventure and excitement. My personal favorite was the first... more story in the book, but the others were really good as well. I also liked the way this book didn't seem to show a preference for a female or male audience. It would work for either.I would recommend this book to parents. It would make a fun addition to a Halloween sleepover!This review is based on a digital copy from the publisher.
review 2: This cute little graphic novel is all about Halloween. Three of the four stories were excellent. The fourth, a simple frame for the book, was nothing special, but the main stories were a lot of fun. Two stories ["Broom with a View" and "The Fang Gang"] were about kids meeting real versions of the things they dress as on Halloween. Both produce clever and unpredictable results, and "10,000 Tentacles Under the Tub," a story about two boys getting a little too caught up in the spirit of their costumes, is delightfully goofy. Their father will win no parenting prizes, though, as he is rightly criticized by his wife and his neighbors for his inattention to his children.Kids who like funny stories about scary things will love this. less
