From School Library Journal
PreS-K—Each letter of the alphabet is featured on its own page in this fun holiday title. Both uppercase and lowercase letters are presented with a bold graphic-style artwork that corresponds to the Halloween theme. Cc is for cauldron, Ee is for eyeballs, Qq is for quiver, Zz is for zombie. The digital illustrations are appealing and cleanly designed with high-contrast hues presented on a different-colored background. The characters are friendly rather than scary, and the direct correspondence between the word on the page and the image makes this a useful book for emerging readers. While there is no plot and nothing groundbreaking about the content, this is a useful addition to larger public and school library collections that support board book collections. VERDICT A treat for prereaders and emerging readers.—Laura Scott, Farmington Community Library, MI
Review
Ho presents an alphabetical tour of all things spooky in this Halloween board book. Bright, friendly cartoons keep the mood upbeat...there are several entertaining interactions between Ho’s characters, as when a zombie makes a beeline for some “yummy” candy corn in the book’s final pages.
—Publishers Weekly
An abecedary of spooky or autumnal delights for the littlest readers...The almost-fluorescent orange cover is sure to attract attention, and the palette of black, purple, orange, yellow, and radioactive green enhances the Halloween mood.
