“Halloween Forest,” by Marion Dane Bauer, illustrated by
John Shelley
Hardcover
picture book I got in the Halloween section of Dollarama, I am sure one could
get it elsewhere. On the inside cover it costs $16.95, where I got it was two
dollars. It is a quick book, having only one to three (very) short sentences
through out. The font is a font type making it go along with the story. The
illustrations, repeated in different variations from page to page are nice and
detailed. Because there is little writing, the illustrations take up the entire
pages with some having a lot going on. Overall it is a quick and good book if
you like having seasonal books or just a person who likes Halloween. It tells
of a boy going through a forest that looks more like skeletons than a forest.
It shows him going through it to finally getting to a house to trick or treat.
“Trick or Treat, Marley,” by John Grogan, illustrated by
Richard Cowdrey
I also got this book at Dollarama for two dollars, where
it would likely got around fifteen somewhere else. This is a hardcover book. The illustrations are more
realistic than in the book above but just as detailed. This one follows a
family and their dog Marley who wants to help in the Halloween celebrations.
But gets in more trouble than is helping. But there is moments, like the end
where Marley is a help. It is a cute story and good for anyone who likes dogs.
