Product Description:
Emily is so excited, she is dancing. Tonight is Halloween, and she is getting dressed to go out. What costume will she wear? She has a cape that her grandma bought to go with the skirt that her grandpa brought. There are socks with stripes on the side, a purse with strings untied. She has a necklace all twisty and black, and a spooky pointed hat. A cumulative rhyme and charming pictures bring Emily to life as she prepares for an evening that is sure to be creepy-and lots of fun.

Rating:  - Cute book
This book is very cute for Halloween. The repetition is good for developing early reading skills.
Rating:  - big disappointment
I had high hopes for this after reading the other positive reviews but, unfortunately, this book fell quite short. We ordered about a dozen childrens books for Halloween and this one was the worst, by far. The scratchy illustrations and annoying, repetitive, rhyme wore thin on my wife and I before we even made it through half the book.

Rating: - Non Scary Halloween story for Preschool aged
This story is told in repetitive verse which tends to capture the attention of young children.

Rating: - Very fun!
By the time my 4-year-old and I get to the middle of this book, he's laughing so hard we have to take a break! It's a Halloween version of the old "House that Jack Built" story from Mother Goose. It's wonderfully adorable and very engaging for kids!
Rating: - Great book for all ages
This book has become a favorite of my 5 month old as well as my 9 year old. It has a fun rhyming nature and very cute illustrations.
