From the creators of DINOSAURUMPUS! comes their new Halloween picture book about counting.

"Listen! Hush! Oooh, what's that sound? The midnight spooks are coming round." Tony Mitton and Guy Parker-Rees team up again to create another fun-filled book. Halloween is the setting as kids rhyme their way through the night and to a spook-filled birthday party. Emphasized sounds such as "CLICKETY CLACK" and "HISSSSS!" will allow younger children to enjoy the fun of reading. Parker-Rees's illustrations, in the tradition of DINOSAURUMPUS! and K IS FOR KISSING A COOL KANGAROO, are sure to delight.

About the Author

Winner of the Smarties Silver Medal, Tony Mitton didn't start writing for children until he was around 40 but recalls having a keen interest in poetry and story from an early age. He grew up in North Africa, Germany, Hong Kong, and England. An elementary school teacher for over 25 years, he gave up teaching to concentrate solely on writing. "What I probably most like doing is writing poems and verse. I love tinkering with the words until I've got them just right." Living in Cambridge, England, with his wife and two children, Mitton enjoys giving author performances at school and library events. Born in Zimbabwe and raised in England, Guy Parker-Rees went to York University before going on to found "Art Attack," a mural painting co-operative that runs workshops and play schemes. He then worked as an Arts and Crafts teacher at a Cardiff hospital, working with people with learning difficulties, and eventually setting up an Art Therapy Department for people with mental health problems. Since 1989, Parker-Rees has been a freelance illustrator, working on more than 40 children's books to date. His book, Giraffes Can't Dance, by Giles Andreae, was a Blue Peter Book Award's "Best Book to Read Aloud." Guy Parker-Rees lives in London, England.
