Critics Review
A Bank Street Best Board Book
”[A] winner of a holiday-themed counting book…The rhymes read and scan deliciously well and develop vocabulary wonderfully by utilizing nifty words to describe the characters’ movements and behaviors as the creatures and count-along proceed…The humorous, extremely child-appealing illustrations are set against mostly dark red, blue, and purple backgrounds lit by a full moon, as befits the occasion…No trick: Count this one as a real Halloween treat.” –Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Favorite children’s counting song ‘The Ants Go Marching’ gets a sweetly spooky makeover in this vibrant Halloween rendition…Fleck uses a pleasant palette and simple lines to create friendly-looking subjects on the move, in and out of moonlight and shadow and toward, in the closing pages, a festive Halloween fete.” –Publishers Weekly
