K-Gr 3–The nervously excitable young boy from Fallon’s 5 More Sleeps ‘til Christmas is back with his dog, Gary, and his sister as they all await Halloween. The boy’s love for the holiday causes a countdown to the famed day and the final decision on his best costume choice. With so many choices and only one night of trick-or-treating, what’s a kid to do? The waiting is almost too much, as expressed through Fallon’s carefully chosen words, which sound like a poem, and the engaging, colorful illustrations of Deas. It’s a partnership with great results.
VERDICT This rich, fun book is an excellent holiday title for young children.
