Goodreads

This is a picture book of the classic Halloween song, “Spooky Scary Skeletons,” written by renowned songwriter Andrew Gold in 1996. The illustrations depict a group of 6 children, five skeletons and one pumpkin, as they embark on a trick-or-treating adventure. The black cat hidden on each picture will add to re-readability, and the curving text style with prolonged vowels makes it difficult to not sing a little while reading it aloud. The illustrations by Polona Lovsin add to the whimsy. This would be a lovely addition to a Halloween-themed musical Storytime.
