This book is exactly what one would expect from the title and the cover.  It is a mix of gothic things like skills, bones, tarot, Ouija etc.  Honestly, the back of some of the coloring pages are more interesting than some of the pictures.  If one can does not get a copy of the Horror Coloring books that are out of print, this one would do nicely. 

 

This was a lot of fun.  It looks at the fear of 13 and Friday the 13th and explains that they are just numbers and day.  It also explains what a fear is and how they can come about.  It does it all with a tongue in cheek humor that works perfectly.  This book would be great for any library collection. 

 

This book could go far.  If it were to get into the hands of the right agent or editor, it could be on a big 5 publishing list.  The story is excellent.  The author does a great job rhyming, and the stanzas have a cadence that is fun to read.  The pictures are not bad but will keep it regulated to small local author.  But this book is sure to be loved by the people that find it, for years to come. 

 

Lovely, simply lovely.  I would thoroughly enjoy reading this for story time over and over in the years to come.  The cover art may look simple, but inside the pages it is full of depth and humor.  The story is wonderfully rhyming, and the cadence is spot on.  This book is done well and will be well loved. 

 

Ohhhh.  Lovely.  This book is about how to control ones temper when it gets big, but it does it in a sing song rhyming pattern that kids will understand and want to help with.  I loved this book, from the story to the illustrations.  It is one that many kids will want to read over and over again. 

 

 

Another great book in the series.  There are a few stanzas where the rhymes and the cadence get broken, but still a top of the line read. 

 

This book is not a story so much as a collection of short stanzas about the different animals that might be found on a beach.  Then each stanza is ended with sound words.  The book isn’t bad, but it is overly long, and a bit boring. 

 

This was a typical Little People Big World book.  But is was very well done. I just wish they would mention that Steve died and that his family and others all over the world still do what he did for the protection of animals everywhere. 

 

I love the Butt books, but this is not one of my favorites.  Many of the rhymes, while they do work, they tend to be harsh. And the cadence changes frequently with little to no warning.  Overall I do like this book, but it is not one I will frequently pull out to read. 

 

This was a fun Halloween book in the vein of Press Here.  Things are happening on Halloween night that are messing with the party.  But the Boo Crew is here to help, with a little assistance from the readers, the party will be put to right, and every one can have a fright.
