Beschreibung des Verlags
All through the school, ghosts go marching, witches go flying, and goblins go groaning with a whole host of other creatures! The teachers and staff are terrified, but of course the students know it's just Halloween fun! Helen Ketteman’s verses—written to the counting tune of The Ants Go Marching—make this a rollicking read-aloud, while Adam Record’s artwork brings the ghoulish parade to life.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Grinning, goofy ghosts, witches, spiders, and more descend on an unsuspecting elementary school, their shenanigans described in a twist on the familiar children's song "The Ants Go Marching." Ketteman makes her way from the ghosts of the title to a horde of blue-skinned zombies that "go stumbling ten by ten." Some of the verses can be a mouthful: "The monsters go stomping five by five./ They catch the computer repairman alive,/ and they take him stomping/ all over the school/ for some Hal-lo-ween fun./ Clomp! Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!" Supplying crisply rendered illustrations, Record clearly had fun creating supernatural mayhem one purple goblin has stamped itself with an "overdue" stamp in the library, and the illustrator includes a visual joke in a spread starring eight mummies, drawing a connection between their wrappings and rolls of toilet paper scattered on the bathroom floor. Ages 4 7.
