* Halloween Hoots and Howls             Joan Horton     1999


    This is by far my favorite poetry book of all time. I absolutely love Halloween and everything that associates with it!  This is a great poetry book for older children for the simple fact that some of the descriptions could scare younger children.  The words indicate the spooky, creepy things that are normally associated with Halloween.  These poems depict the exact things that Halloween represents and the clever, creepy illustrations add to the atmosphere of Halloween.   Great read for Halloween and Autumn time.
