Shivery Shades of Halloween - Tapa dura

The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, October 2014
"This creative color concept book uses Halloween as a vehicle for exploring a wide spectrum of shades. . . The depictions of spooky Halloween characters are definitely more silly than scary, making this an excellent choice for little ones . . . There is plenty of readaloud potential here."

Booklist, August 1, 2014:
"Can colors other than orange and black be associated with Halloween? Upbeat rhymes make the case for a multihued holiday . . . A solid and fun read-aloud."

Kirkus Reviews, August 1, 2014:
"A bright new addition to the Halloween shelves."

A rollicking, rhyming Halloween romp—in every color!
 
What color is Halloween? Why, it’s as green as an “eerie glow, evil grin, vile brew, clammy skin,” as white as “cobwebs clinging, a misty trail, a skull, a spook, a face gone pale . . .” Children will learn their colors as they follow a cute little creature on his adventure through haunted halls, moonlit forests . . . perhaps even a Halloween party! Jimmy Pickering’s stylized settings and adorable monsters add a blast of colorful creepy-crawliness that will make kids giggle. Who knew that learning colors could be such spooky fun?
