Reviews
Designed to shiver the timbers of youngsters all year round, the previously published Halloween ABC (1987) is now Spooky ABC by Eve Merriam, illus. by Lane Smith. The handsome edition pits 26 alphabetically organized poems-"Demon" and "Lair" among them-against eerie illustrations. Ages 5-up.

Gr. 3-6. Besides the new title, this new edition of Merriam and Smith's richly atmospheric and downright scary Halloween ABC (1987) offers redesigned pages and new type. The most striking difference, though, is the heightened impact of the artwork. The illustrations are now twice as large and somewhat brighter and more varied in hue than they appeared in the older volume. The book ends with a three-page section that explains how the original book came to be written (first pictures, then poems, then more pictures) and includes five illustrations that did not appear in the first volume. A handsome showcase for Merriam's poems and Smith's artwork, this edition is not a necessary purchase but a nice addition to library collections. Carolyn Phelan
