It's Halloween and my girls are all ready to go trick-or treating tonight!
The Book That Eats People
by John Perry
If you're looking for a "scary" book for early elementary schoolers, this is for you. It's funny, goofy, and slightly disturbing. From the title page, the book warns you that in your hands is a book that EATS PEOPLE. It chronicles the history of the book and all the children and adults it has eaten, the steps taken to try to keep people safe from it's hungry jaws, and the final warning to WATCH OUT - because this book EATS PEOPLE! The illustrations are great and silly enough to keep kids from taking the story too seriously. While I wouldn't read it to my 3 year old, my 6 year old thought it was hilarious. I think boys (and dads) in particular will enjoy the slightly dark humor throughout.
This year they are coordinating in their Wizard of Oz costumes. I adapted an old dress into A's "Glinda Gown," but E's grandma made her Dorothy dress from scratch with a matching dress for her doll.
I couldn't let these cuties have all the fun!
They'll be accompanied tonight by the Wicked Witch!

ReplyDeleteI am very impressed by the coordinating outfits! Super cite, but truly, D should have been the Wizard.
