Title: Not so Spooky...
Review: Buket Erdogan's illustrations are perfect for this story. She paints in acrylics, therefore the colors are bold and intense, yet the mood is somewhat ominous. The book is set outdoors at night, so it supposed to be dark. The illustrations may be too gloomy for say a 1-year old, but my son was three when I picked up this book, and he was delighted with the Mouse story. This book taught my kid that bats aren't scary, and neither are jack-o-lanterns. I'm not particularly fond of rodents, but Mouse can come and visit anytime. Perfect first Halloween book.
