Review Quotes

"A Halloween-themed variation on the traditional song. A costumed cast of children acts out verses set to the familiar tune. The white type of the verse is easy to read against dark backgrounds... a totally unscary addition to the Halloween shelf, useful in the few weeks leading up to the holiday"
--Kirkus Reviews
