Goodreads Synopsis: 

A fun, rhyming read-aloud Halloween picture book that starts a new holiday tradition. Perfect for kids 4-8 or any young child wanting to celebrate the spookiest season of the year!

Marching in the school parade

in frightening costumes that we've made;

Look around, the signs are clear,

Halloween is getting near!

Halloween is Coming is a lyrical celebration of the building excitement that children—and adults!—feel as the magical and mysterious night of Halloween approaches.

Review: 

Such a cute book about Halloween and autumn! Halloween is Coming is a rhyming picture book that talks about this time of year in activities and visuals that young readers will understand and enjoy. 

The illustrations are bright and on theme and the cast of children are not only diverse but they are also sometimes of the spooky variety - some in costumes but also just some that are mummies or franenstein's monster. These spooky characters are including along with all the other human children and it is a very cute way to showcase differences. 

If Halloween is a time of excitement in your household, I think that this would be a fun book to add to bedtime reading piles. Adults and kids alike will enjoy the whimical images, the diverse kids, and obviously talking all about the things that lead up to a great Halloween night.
