Each year, on Halloween eve, Fright Club meets to go over their plan: Operation Kiddie Scare. Only the scariest of monsters can join Fright Club--Vladimir the Vampire, Fran K. Stein, Sandy Witch, and Virginia Wolf have all made the cut. They've been practicing their ghoulish faces, their scary moves, and their chilling sounds. But when a band of cute little critters comes along asking to join in the fun, the members of Fright Club will find out who really is the scariest of all!
This clever, rollicking read aloud text and the delightfully spooky illustrations will have youngsters laughing, cheering, and begging to be the newest members of Fright Club.

PreS-Gr 2—Vladimir the vampire summons all the local monsters to a meeting in his tree house the night before Halloween. Frankenstein, Witch, Ghost, Mummy, and others show up for the Fright Club meeting to discuss Operation Kiddie Scare. They are doing important things, such as reviewing the three traits of highly effective monsters, when suddenly there is a knock at the door. There's a cute bunny outside wanting to join the Fright Club. Vladimir shoos her away, however, because "Fright Club is for monsters only!" Back to the meeting he goes to lead the group in making their scariest sounds and faces. They're all duds, and it's not going well. Even an eye-popping mummy isn't scary enough. And then, there's another knock at the door. Bunny is back with her attorney, Frances Foxx, claiming that her client was denied inclusion in the club. Vladimir slams the door and returns to lead the group in scary moves. They're still not very scary, and suddenly there is a third knock at the door. Bunny is back with her attorney and a protest group comprised of Turtle, Butterfly, and Fly, all carrying signs and making loud noises. Eventually, the protesters are allowed inside and are actually pretty good at conjuring up scary faces and noises. They're officially allowed to join the club, and Operation Kiddie Scare the next night is a great success. "When it comes to scaring, the more, the merrier." The illustrations of not-so-scary, cartoonlike monsters are rendered in muted hues of orange, brown, and gray. Created with graphite pencil and drawing paper, they are digitally enhanced. VERDICT Silly but entertaining. Purchase for seasonal collection or Halloween laughs.—Roxanne Burg, Orange County Public Library, CA
