Midnight in the Cemetery: A Spooky Search-and-Find Alphabet Book

32 pp. | Simon | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-689-80873-9 $$16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robin Brickman. In a volume more interesting for its cut-paper collage art than its poorly scanned rhyme, two children visit a cemetery searching for buried treasure and disturb a gang of ghosts who rise from their graves to rock and roll. The disjointed poem (the children run off halfway through the verse) features plenty of alliteration; objects representing various letters of the alphabet are hidden in the illustrations.
