Picture Book For Children
Don't miss this event. Joining us will be George Bates, illustrator of this stunning children's picture book that is perfect for Halloween. Special Halloween treats and refreshments will be serrved.
On a windy Halloween night, as a little boy makes his way home after trick-or-treating, he hears a voice:
“Cracklety-clack, bones in a sack. They could be yours—if you look back.” As his heart flip-flops with fear, the boy dashes through woods and fields that seem full of haunting shapes—owls, ghosts, skeletons, and more. The detailed illustrations are packed with visual tricks for children to discover. Are those skeletons or cornstalks? Ghostly hands or tree branches? The playful tone of the text makes this a perfect, not-too-scary read-aloud, with an enjoyable surprise ending.
