Reviews

  • The story is…full of action as a diverse group of boys and girls eagerly sets off to get as much sweet loot as they can.

    - Kirkus Reviews

  • Lit with sunset shades of pink and purple, Monlongo’s illustrations conjure a cinematic sense of theatricality while capturing the visceral excitement of fully escaping into character on Halloween.

    - Publishers Weekly, starred review

  • With its kid-friendly rhymes and abundance of pirate lingo, this appealing mash-up of Halloween and pirate themes captures the lighthearted fun of the holiday. Nothing can deter a band of pirates…as long as those pirates are home before dark.

    - The Horn Book Magazine

  • The illustrations are a delightful combination of bright colors and expressive characters who look like they have sprung from a Disney Junior show…Short sentences and a narrator’s commitment to a decent pirate accent will make this a Halloween storytime favorite.

    - Booklist

  • A first-choice purchase for a different spin in Halloween-themed storytimes.
