From the Collection: Knock Knock It's Halloween




The 13 Words!:
Halloween and silly knock knock jokes go together like monsters and get togethers.

The Creature from the Back Cover!:
Knock, Knock.
Who's there?
Ice cream.
Ice cream who?
Ice cream, "Boo! It's Halloween!"
Have a ghoulish good time with over twenty knock-knock jokes, complete with a real working knocker!

The Facts that Attacked Mars!:
Knock, Knock It's Halloween is written by Betty Schwartz and Illustrated by Barry Gott. Barry Gott also illustrated another Halloween book titled It Must Be Halloween, which seems like a book I'd like to have in my collection.

The Monster Speaks!:
I think this is a cute book. I like the little plastic door knocker attached to the book. It's a nice little extra. The illustrations are pretty well done, highlighting Halloween book favorites such as vampires, mummies, and monster.

What Lurks Between These Covers?
The Marvels!:

There's not enough mad scientists in picture books.Drac looks a little distraught.
