The ghosts went floating, one by one, BOO-rah! BOO-rah!when Halloween had just begun. BOO-rah! BOO-rah!The ghosts went floating, one by one. The skeletons rattled and joined the fun. . . It' s Halloween night, and witches, werewolves, zombies, and plenty of other creepy creatures are out and about! Where are they going? Connecting the children' s song "The Ants Go Marching" to early counting concepts, this board book is a rhyming, rhythmic romp perfect for the Halloween season.
"[A] winner of a holiday-themed counting book. . . The rhymes read and scan deliciously well and develop vocabulary wonderfully by utilizing nifty words to describe the characters' movements and behaviors as the creatures and count-along proceed. . . The humorous, extremely child-appealing illustrations are set against mostly dark red, blue, and purple backgrounds lit by a full moon, as befits the occasion. . . No trick: Count this one as a real Halloween treat. " --Kirkus Reviews, starred review"Favorite children' s counting song ' The Ants Go Marching' gets a sweetly spooky makeover in this vibrant Halloween rendition. . . Fleck uses a pleasant palette and simple lines to create friendly-looking subjects on the move, in and out of moonlight and shadow and toward, in the closing pages, a festive Halloween fete. " --Publishers Weekly
