Skeleton Bones & Goblin Groans: Poems for Halloween

32 pp. | Holt | August, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-7046-X $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Dismukes. Colorful, beaded canvas illustrations provide the spooky backdrop for this collection of poems about spiders, witches, haunted houses ("Two fireplaces. Eat-in kitchen. / Atmosphere you'll find bewitchin'"), and other Halloween totems. Using a variety of poetic forms and ranging in tone from humorous to scary, the verses are occasionally off meter, making them more successful on the printed page than as read-alouds.
