"This tale will make an excellent choice for a lap read or storytime; for added fun, pair it with a nonfiction book about real-life animals. ... A jubilant costume party from beginning to end." — Kirkus Reviews"With its hilarious storyline and captivating artwork, this book is a joyous celebration of Halloween spirit and friendship." — School Library Journal“Katz rolls out plenty of silliness for the occasion … [a]nd Laberis’s critters, rendered in boldly hued digital images, clearly understand the brief, strutting their stuff while exuding a fun, upbeat flamboyance.” — Publishers Weekly
