Title: Not So Scary Fun
Review: This is my all-time favorite pre-school book - or it was when I was a child.I knew on exactly which shelf it was kept at the library, and I made my mother read it to me over and over.I especially loved the illustrations. They are a little creepy without being menacing. They became for me the archetypical images for each of those types of characters (ghosts, jack-o-lantern, witch, and skeleton). Even the simplicity and texture of the background painting heightens the spookiness. To me "One Dark Night" and "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" perfectly capture the spirit of the Halloween of my youth.I found a copy several years ago on Amazon in reasonably good shape. I have read it to all of my children (I have 5), and they all love it - boys and girls.I recommend it to all parents with young children who love Halloween.
