Under October's luna, full and bright, the monsters are throwing a ball in the Haunted Hall. Las brujas come on their broomsticks. Los muertos rise from their coffins to join in the fun. Los esqueletos rattle their bones as they dance through the door. And the scariest creatures of all aren't even there yet! This lively bilingual Halloween poem introduces young readers to a spooky array of Spanish words that will open their ojos to the chilling delights of the season. Los Gatos Black on Halloween is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year, the winner of the 2008 Pura Belpre Medal for Illustration and a Pura Belpre Honor Book for Narrative.Review Quotes

Rating this book because it has no ratings and I think it is s great buy. This whimsical and spooky poem is mostly in english but introduces some spanish Spooky words. It almost feels like a halloween verison of twas rhe night before christmas, a story you can read every year and that can become a tradition. I love that it is in Spanglish so that reading it isn't two long like most bi-lingual books. Absolutely love the illustrations they are pure art. The illustraor is amazing and I love her work in many children books.
