Los Gatos Black On Halloween by Marissa Montes

This book is an excellent book to read around Halloween. This book also gives some insight in to how other cultures celebrate the same holiday. The images in the book are so real that they seem to jump off the page. The cats eyes on the cover look like they glow in the dark.

I like this book because I love halloween and this really gets me in the mood for candy and costumes. I think that some people could be offended by some things in the book, but I think it is just good to bring the spirit of halloween to the kids.

I'd have to agree with Hilary again. And with only a couple of exceptions in a lifetime of teaching, I think parents would be very supportive if they know their children's academic success is our main goal. I'd most definitely give it a try. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? Besides, it's beautifully written poetry.
