Halloween Has Boo!

Sly rhymes, quirky illustrations plus die-cut covers with holographic foil result in this holiday board book with an extra-special sparkle.
Spiders have spin and pumpkins have grin;
Brooms have witches and witches have glitches.
In verse guaranteed to get readers to think twice and look twice, Harriet Ziefert romps through Halloween with rhymes designed to bring smiles to readers of all ages. Her text is perfectly matched in Rebecca Doughtys line drawings and bold palette, perhaps reminiscent of Edward Goreys and Roz Chasts best work, but ultimately, uniquely, and irrepressibly her own.

Holographic foil dresses up the die-cut window in two holiday titles by Harriet Ziefert and Rebecca Doughty. A pumpkin peers out from the cover on Halloween Has Boo! Within, just one silly couplet per spread ("Spiders have spin./ Pumpkins have grin") accompanies line drawings of cock-eyed characters. A trimmed tree decks the cover of Christmas Has Merry!
