Description
It's time for Halloween in a board book that's all treat and no tricks from the one and only Sandra Boynton-this holiday favorite is now available in an oversized lap edition.
Strange things are happening. One chicken sees a pumpkin with flickering eyes, another spies a mouse of enormous size. They all see a wizard and a witch, and a spooky robot, too. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Relax, silly chickens! It's HALLOWEEN!" It's BIG fun from Sandra Boynton in the big, big lap edition of this favorite board book.
There's a big round moon
in a dark, dark sky.
The chickens are nervous.
Do you know why?

More than 90 million of her books have been sold, "mostly to friends and family," she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced seven albums of renegade children's music.

She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.
