Murray's Howl-O-Ween - (Murray's Holiday Tails) by E G Keller (Hardcover)

About the Book

"When city dog Murray visits his human's grandparents in the country, he is unimpressed with the odd and scary surroundings, so Nanna's cat Wynona decides to show him all the fun activities her home has to offer."--

Book Synopsis

From #1 New York Times bestselling A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo illustrator E. G. Keller comes a hilarious autumnal tale about a city dog-out-of-water and his first Halloween

Murray loves the smells, sidewalks, and hydrants of his city neighborhood--which is why he isn't looking forward to a trip to some awful place called . . . The Country.

Away from the comforting familiarity of home, he comes nose-to-nose with strange things at every turn--and even worse, it's Halloween! From the costumes to the decorations, the pumpkin patches to the scarecrows to a new cat foe, everything is scary.

Will Murray face his frights, or cower under the couch with his stuffy toy?

Review Quotes

***STARRED REVIEW***
"Keller captures the spirit of Halloween and the fear of the unknown with a gentle and humorous twist...It is perfect for young readers, who will enjoy all the hallmarks of a Halloween story but also learn the underlying message of how to be open to new things that might seem scary at first, but with time and a kind friend in tow, could be a lot of fun."--School Library Journal

"This dog's-eye view of Halloween offers ample laughs...though youngsters who find spooky season a bit intimidating will readily sympathize with the pooch's plight...Paws-itively howl-arious."--Kirkus Reviews
