Halloween A B C by Eve Merriam

Halloween A B C by Eve Merriam – 28 p.

This little book is a deliciously spooky way to get ready for the greatest holiday of the year. The fact that some have attempted to ban it just ramps up the fun! A clever little poem accompanies each letter, some more malevolent than others (D for demon vs. O for owl). Parents can quickly suss out which are appropriate to read to their little kiddos. Older ones will have a blast (and maybe a good, healthy scare) reading all of them. Just remember not to cry, or “you’ll end up in pumpkin pie”.

“Halloween ABC is on the American Library Association list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000 as ‘it allegedly contains satanic references, cult symbols, and promotes violent and deviant behavior.’” [Wikipedia]
