The Halloween Play

It's the night of the Halloween play.

The auditorium is packed. Roger has a small but important role. . . .

Publishers Weekly

A handful of Halloween titles provides spooky holiday fun in new board-book editions (for additional Halloween listings, see Children's Forecasts, Aug. 4). In Felicia Bond's The Halloween Play, Roger has a small but important role when his class puts on a performance before a packed auditorium. The sweet text and quiet illustrations, previously published as The Halloween Performance, capture the anticipation and joy of this little mouse. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
