Review Quotes:
"An adorable and unique picture book for anyone looking to add some quirks to their Halloween collection. . . . This would be an excellent book for an interactive storytime, particularly for a younger or more fearful audience. Illustrations are friendly and fun but also -appropriate for the season---never overly cute. -A book to -celebrate -Halloween, while encouraging readers to consider whether they can stay true to their interests rather than simply following expectations." --School Library Journal
