This jacketed hardcover picture book is perfect for the not-so-spooky storytime.

“'Eenie meenie Halloweenie'—so many choices. That’s what the kid in this bouncy rhyming charmer faces. These rhymed musings about what to be on Halloween will give readers/listeners dress-up ideas that they may never have considered—and present simple, inexpensive homemade ways to achieve those ends with items easily found around the house." (Kirkus starred review) 

"In springy rhymed verse, Eaddy captures her heroine’s inventive vision as she explores costume options while her inanimate menagerie patiently looks on. She gives multiple options a whirl, sourcing domestic props: 'Or what about an elephant?/ I could be one of those.// With pillowcases for my ears,/ a sock could be my nose.' Rendered digitally, pictures by Fleming give the wide-eyed, ginger-haired protagonist ample personality and energy, and imbue her toy animals with a winsome homespun quality." (Publishers Weekly)
