OCTOBER 28, 2009
Frightful and delightful

Okay, having spent the last few weeks posting on scary things, I think it only fitting this last week before Halloween, to continue the trend. But this time, I thought I’d offer a bit of a twist:

 A list of my all time favorite Halloween-y books – for the young and young at heart!
 
 
I’m not a big fan of dogs, but how can one resist Martha, who dresses up as a cat for Halloween?
 
 
 
Perhaps you’ve heard of psychic vampires? Bibliophile’s beware of this fellow! He's far more sinister.
 
 
 
Everyone knows I’m a big Halloween fan, what people didn’t know (until now – watch for that trivia contest in the future!) is that I collect alphabet books.
 
 
 
Don’t you hate it when this happens?
 
 
 
Sheldon, a pig who works as a short-order cook, encounters a mad scientist one stormy Halloween night and must face all of his biggest fears.
 
 
 
And on this note, I leave you with one last thought: 
 
 
Great Pumpkin Is Comin' To Town
 
Oh, you better not shriek, you better not groan,
You better not howl, you better not moan,
Great Pumpkin is coming to town!
He's going to find out from folks that he meets,
Who deserves tricks and who deserves treats;
Great Pumpkin is coming to town!
He'll search in every pumpkin patch, haunted houses far and near;
To see if you've been spreading gloom, or bringing lots of cheer!
So you better not shriek, you better not groan,
You better not howl, you better not moan;
Great pumpkin is coming to town!!
 
 
Be sure to watch for the Great Pumpkin and check out these books and more pumpkin carols @ the Library!

Not as good as yours by a long shot but I add this to the mix... A Spooky Halloween to all!

Deck the Halls (to the tune of Deck The Halls)

Deck the halls with poison ivy,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
'Tis the season to be slimy,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our strange apparel,
fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Halloween carol,
fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the goblins rise before us,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
As we sing the Halloween chorus,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow them as they ascend,
fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Join with all your loony friends,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
