Yee, Wong Herbert. Geisel, Theodor Seuss. Mouse and Mole: A Perfect Halloween, 48 pgs. Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, 2011. $14.99. Inside cover: “Mouse likes Halloween. In fact, with only a few days to go before the big day, Mouse has a lot to do. There are decorations to hang and pumpkins to carve-especially for the big pumpkin-carving contest! Mole does not like Halloween nearly as much. It is scary. It is creepy. Thankfully a pumpkin-carving contest is not too scary. But the contest is just the beginning of Mouse and Mole’s Halloween adventures. Even the trip home could be a spooky one. Mole is just not having a happy Halloween. What’s Mouse to do when her best friend has turned into a big Scaredy-Mole? All it takes is a little creativity (and Mouse has a lot of that) and a bedtime story to have the perfect Halloween.” I thought this was a great book. The story is fun and exciting. I like how the characters changed at the end of the story. The illustrations are bright and colorful. It would be a great Halloween story. EL (K-3). ADVISABLE. Student Reviewed: JL- age 9.
