Monster Parade, Step into Reading, Step 2
Illustrated by Will Terry
Halloween is here! It’s time for all the neighborhood children to put on their costumes, march in a Halloween parade, have fun at a party, and head out for some trick-or-treating. This exuberant rhyming celebration of Halloween includes two sheets of stickers.
What People Are Saying:
“It is Halloween and the children all dress up as monsters to go out to collect their treats. An array of illustrations in rich fall colors shows the various monsters as they go door to door. . . The words are fun and the sentences are short. After they fill their bags, one of the monsters falls asleep. They all try to stay awake but ‘Now the moon is high and bright. Monsters start to say good night.’ Children will enjoy reading the bouncy rhymes and will like the illustrations of the cute monsters. Two sticker sheets with Halloween pictures are included.” —Children’s Literature
“Simple rhymes celebrate Halloween in solid, easy-to-read fashion: ‘Monsters munching, monsters crunching, monsters chomping, monsters stomping!’ Corey’s monsters disport themselves happily till, one by one, the little monsters get sleepy and bid Halloween goodnight. Terry’s . . . costumed kids transform from ordinary children to marvelously bulbous, outlandish creatures in psychedelic colors and with gorgeously bug-eyed faces. A happy change of pace for beginning readers.” —Kirkus Reviews
