I was blown away by the quality of this book. There are little details that my 4 and 5 year old simply adored. Even the paper was amazing. The story was fun and it became an "Again, Again" book with the first reading. The story had a bit of repetition that early readers love. As a mom and former teacher, I loved that the author used some really cool and unwatered down descriptors. The illustrations are simply beautifully. As for the ending, my four year old loved it and giggled and giggled and giggled.

"Creepy fiends that emerge at twilight are coming. Slimy things from the deep, dark waters are coming." But where are they, and lots of others, coming to? My party! This spooky Halloween book features dark shadows, glowing eyes, evil grins, scary tree branches, and an eerie full moon in its imaginative scenes. Kids will be held in suspense, wondering where these creatures are all going, and if they're coming after them. Dark and delightfully done, They're Coming! is designed to put you in the mood for Halloween. It would make a great read-aloud book with the lights turned down and some spooky music playing.

Amazing illustrations; spooky but whimsical. The author/illustrator, Timothy Young, was gracious enough to spend literature day at my daughter's elementary school, sharing sketches and stories and answering questions about writing and art. His depictions in this book started my daughter asking about some of the classic characters he includes (the wolfman, the headless horseman, Mr. Hyde, etc.). Great fun for elementary and middle readers as well as their parents!
