Bookworks Presents Shelf Awareness for Readers: Return of a Halloween Classic and Other Treats
by BWW News Desk - Oct 5, 2015
Rejoice, Halloween people! There's a 2015 edition of Ray Bradbury's 1972 classic The Halloween Tree (Knopf), one of the very best Halloween books ever written for eight-year-olds or adults, newly illustrated by the much-admired Gris Grimly. Gather the kids around on an October night and read (out loud, if possible) the deliciously lyrical, globe-circling, time-traveling tale of Mr. Moundshroud and eight trick-or-treating boys in search of their missing, maybestolen friend Pipkin... 'And all the deep dark wild long history of Halloween waiting to swallow us whole!'
