Halloween Hoots and Howls is my first book from both Horton and Adinolfi, but I certainly hope it will not be my last! These poems read well, and are full of entertainingly monstrous details, while the accompanying artwork, done in gouache, watercolor and pastel, is suffused with the colors of the season, and features many quirky figures. My personal favorite, from a textual perspective, is A Halloween Quiz, in which the reader is asked ten ghoulish questions, all in rhyme. "Why do skeletons hide their brooms,?" the readers is asked, and then told: "So the lazybones won't have to clean their rooms." This series of questions could make for an excellent Halloween story-time, as the storyteller asks the questions, lets the children guess, and then provides the solution, to much giggling, I would imagine. Recommended to picture-book readers looking for Halloween read-aloud titles. ( )
