This engaging picture book celebrates the gathering of family and friends; helping young readers to understand and appreciate the value of giving thanks. - <i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>Long's graphite pencil and digitally colored illustrations are packed with gross-out details that will have kids in stitches. - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>This cast of Halloween characters is more adorable than scary. This family-oriented tale will have life through several holidays. - <i>Booklist</i> <p/>Holidays don't always go as planned, Long asserts, and that's okay. - <i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>Long's digitally colored graphite-pencil illustrations amp up the humor. - <i>Horn Book Magazine</i> <p/>Long's sense of comic timing is utter perfection. Hysterically plays on kids' stereotyped notions of love, hopefully putting some to rest. - <i>Starred review, Kirkus Review on VALENSTEINS</i> <p/>There are lots of laughs to be found in Long's twilit cartoons and the banter among the characters - <i>Publishers Weekly on VALENSTEINS</i> <p/>Long's dark, ghostly palette sets an appropriately eerie mood, and he has a lot of fun with the cuddly animals' reign of terror. . . . Don't worry about what goes bump in the night, Long seems to suggest--daylight can be plenty scary, too. - <i>Starred review, Publishers Weekly on FRIGHT CLUB</i> <p/>Long delivers an original story full of droll humor while also introducing the concept of questioning stereotypes and rules. . . . Long ably proves that 'when it comes to scaring, the more the merrier.' - <i>Kirkus Reviews on FRIGHT CLUB</i> <p/>Silly but entertaining. - <i>School Library Journal on FRIGHT CLUB</i> <p/>It's a funny Halloween concept that delivers. - <i>The Horn Book on FRIGHT CLUB</i> <p/>The lighthearted tone makes this Halloween tale a perfect pick for younger children. Monster names such as Virginia Wolf and Mumford N. Suns will entertain the adults as well. - <i>Booklist on FRIGHT CLUB</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Ethan Long</b> is the Geisel Award-winning author and illustrator of <i>Up, Tall and High!</i>, as well as many other picture books, including <i>Valensteins</i>, <i>Fright Club</i>, <i>Scribbles and Ink</i>, and <i>Chamelia and the New Kid in Class</i>.
