I remembered the illustrations so well that I oftened wondered if it was a film I watched and not a book. I honestly felt like I was actually walking through a haunted house just by looking at these illustrations! I wouldn’t consider it to be a particularly indepth book either, something that I feel is probably more entertaining than anything else.

This book is a picture book with the theme of Halloween making it unique and good for the children who like spookier story lines. The curtain as well as the cupboard that has all of the toys, holds the most color compared to any of the other illustrations in the picture book. The drawing of the mansion made it look like a castle, and through the drawings you could tell that this mansion was abandoned.We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. and have him point and show me (although the cat is sometimes really hard to find and he may need a hint). The simplicity of the text and the expressive beauty of the illustrations build up the tension to culminate in a surprising ending in this stunning picture book by Ruth Brown.

Well, as I was reading this book, that keep on going on about dark, dark places, and when we reached the final couple of pages, I was expecting to find the true identity of those trolls that seem to forever haunt us, but unfortunately that was not to be. At least God gave me the ability to appreciate a wonderful story, beautiful illustrations and the simple joy of reading! I give this picture book 4 stars; although it is a patterned book, the readers can not predict who will be in the box!

The house in the story looks like it could be haunted, complete with cobwebs, black cats and all, so there are a lot of activities that could go along with this theme around that time of year.
