"This is the Night" is an engaging book for elementary-aged kids to enjoy throughout the Fall season. The whole book is 'read' or sung to the tune the author includes in the back of the book -- fear not, it's easy to learn and sing. Both the song and the illustrations hit the right notes of spookiness while remaining fun and silly. It is a perfect book that kids under 8 will fall in love with -- and older kids and adults will enjoy singing during the Halloween season for years to come. It would be an excellent choice for any elementary school media center's Fall book selection for student read-along classes.
