Very cute, i especially liked the CD that came with it that had the sound effects. Made the book very interactive. At the end though it showed the children that the spookiest thing wasnt spooky at all. Great book for halloween time.

A cute story that allow children to interact. My daughter picked this one out and she would repeat the phrase the boots went clomp, clomp etc. It is a little old lady who is returning home and is followed by a pair of boot, pants, a shirt, gloves, a hat, and a jack o lantern who are all trying to scare her. In the end they become a scarecrow.

This book is neat because it has a CD that is included with sound effects that make it spooky for children.The ending is great because it made the spookiest thing seem not spooky at all. It would be cute for all audiences.

I LOVE this book. With the current push to provide politically correct "Fall" curriculum instead of the traditional "Halloween" curriculum, it is hard to find appropriate books for public presentations.

There are so many extensions of this book. I have used props, sound effects, and plenty of imagination to present this book to children from age 2-5th grade.

Summary: This was a story of an old woman who went on a walk and on her way home she met two shoes that went clomp, clomp; one pair of pants that went wiggle, wiggle; one shirt that went shake, shake; two gloves that went clap, clap; one hat that went nod, nod; and one pumpkin head that went boo, boo. They all try to scare the woman but she is not scared until she meets the pumpkin head. She runs to her house, gets inside and they knock on her door. She decides to go to the door and tells them that she is not afraid of them and they asked what were they to do? So then, she told them to come together and scare the crows out of her garden.
Personal Reaction: I really enjoyed this story I thought it was very cute.
Classroom Extension: I think this story would be a very good book to read for fun on Halloween.
