review 1: For my goodreads friends with little kids who love to read holiday books, I have a new favorite this year: “Monster Mash”. The words are “Boris” Bobby Pickett’s from THE song, and the brilliant illustrations are by David Catrow. Yes, this song is 3-generations strong and is just as fun as it was when I was a kid in 1962. Today I did my volunteer reading in my grandson’s kindergarten class and “Monster Mash” was my second Halloween choice. However, instead of my usual reading, I let Bobby Picket sing the story. Those 5 yr. olds were rockin’ as much as sitting crisscross applesauce would allow! They loved it and I had so much fun sharing it with them!Brilliant song! Brilliant illustrations! Absolutely a keeper on my Halloween story shelf for kids! 5-s... moretars!
review 2: This was a big hit at storytime today. The audience of toddlers found the bright, bold illustrations totally mesmerizing and the parents laughed and smiled as they remembered the Boris Pickett hit that the text is based on. We even turned this into a call and response for all I had to say was, "they did the..." and the kids quickly learned to shout out "Monster Mash." Use your best Boris voice and this is sure to be a "graveyard smash" for you, too! less
