Synopsis

“The simple text is packed with words to delight the ear.”—School Library Journal

Who's hurrying, scurrying, whisking and frisking their way through a moonlit pumpkin patch? An adorable family of Halloween mice, of course! And they have a quick and clever plan to scare off any hungry-looking cat who happens to rustle or swish its way by. Full of rhyme, repetition, and wordplay, this holiday favorite is now available in an easy reader format. Perfectly paced for beginners with simple words and short sentences.

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 2-This is a simple, lighthearted tale of partying mice on Halloween who outwit a prowling cat with a trick of their own. After the party, when the mice are falling asleep, a small mouse pulls a prank of his own. Jane Staab's reading captures the tone of mischief, suspense, and fun of Bethany Roberts' original book (Clarion, 1995). With Doug Cushman's smoky watercolors and adorable mice, the effect is perfect. One side of the tape has page-turn signals and the other side is told uninterrupted. Unfortunately, the monotonous and synthetic background music detracts from the appeal of this audio version. Nonetheless, with the demand for Halloween materials, this set will not stay on the shelves long.
