Et cetera : What we're reading: 'Trick or Treat on Scary Street'

Halloween is Coming!

We have several books just for the coming 'spooky season'! If you and your family aren't into stumbling around in the dark, while wearing an ill-fitting mask, and trying to navigate by flashlight, why not have a Halloween play? Felicia Bond explains how one classroom did it in 'The Halloween Play.' Roger and his school class are practicing for a very special play, with dancing by the light of the moon! Will Roger remember his part? Read this cute book and find out!

One of our very newest books is 'Trick or Treat on Scary Street' by Lance Bass. (Yes, THAT Lance Bass from N'Sync!) If you've read any of my previous reviews, you know that I'm very fond of rhyming books. There's just something about the lilting chant that invites reading aloud - or listening! Come along as a group of children encounter a ghost's house, a gingerbread house, a spooky cabin, several well-known freaky characters, and more!

With this next book, you can help in deciding on a costume and get a head start on something that's just right! Lily is having a problem with her choice, so she asks her kittens, Fluff and Frisky, for help. After many bad ideas, they finally come up with the perfect costume. When you read this book you may get some good ideas too! Read 'Halloween Surprise' by Corrine Dumas!
