Here They Come! by David Hyde Costello

The scariest creatures appear Halloween night where there's a party every year. As guests begin to arrive, a mama goblin explains to her little ones "that a good scare lets you know you're alive." One by one they come...warlocks, witches, ghosts, an owl, ghouls, and more. The party has begun with candy, stories, and dancing. It's really swinging now. Then suddenly it's time to hide because the scariest creatures have arrived. Can you guess who they are? I won't tell, but be ready for a fun little scare.

The Bottom Line: This rhyming book is fun to read aloud. Costello's watercolor illustrations are lively, colorful, and entertaining. Kids ages 3 – 6 will love the twist ending. It's a great introduction to Halloween for the little ones.

Here They Come! by David Hyde Costello

The book uses rhyming, which most of the time I do not like books that rhyme. But, this book makes it work. It is a fun read aloud book. I read it to my nephew and he loved it! Its a cute story about monsters getting ready for a Halloween Party. A fun read.
