Heebie-Jeebie Jamboree by Mary Ann Fraser


I love this book!!!! I know that it is July and we are checking out Halloween books but the kids don't care and either do I ( plus it gets them excited for the holiday) This story is so original and very well written we had a great time reading it over and over again. The story follows two siblings who received mysterious tickets out of thin air to the Heebie-Jeebie Jamboree a ghoulish festival that only happens once a year. The children experience a frightfully good time at the festival and revel in all the sights and attractions of this creature carnival. It is a nice break from the normal Halloween costume book or trick or treating story. The illustrations are perfect creepy and colorful and great for children of any age. This book is a wonderful addition to any October story time the story itself is adaptable for a preschool or a toddler age range I would even venture to say early grade school.
