Reviews<\/h2>\n

\u201c[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\u2019 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.\u201d \u2015Kirkus Reviews, starred review<\/p>\n

\u201cFavorite children\u2019s 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.\u201d \u2015Publishers Weekly\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
