I also really enjoyed the illustrations in this book. they really popped and complimented their corresponding poem. Fourteen Halloween-themed poems are collected in Hallowilloween by Calef Brown, whose previous picture-book forays include Polka-bats and Octopus Slacks: 14 Stories and Flamingos on the Roof. Here we have selections like Lone Star Witches, about two Texas witches determined to go toe-to-toe with their Boston sistren, The Vumpire, about an unusual umpire who only works night games, and The Poltergeyser, about very strange waterspout. I was really drawn in by the cover of this one, and by the good things I had heard about Calef Brown's art, but I have to confess I just wasn't that impressed. Perhaps I read this too soon after Adam Rex's brilliant Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich, another picture-book collection of monstrous poems suitable for Halloween time, but I found the poems here distinctly uninteresting, and rather clumsily constructed. Calef Brown fans will enjoy his acrylic illustrations, I think, but they're the only ones to whom I would recommend Hallowilloween. Everyone else would do better to find the Rex title, and its sequel. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
