The Haunted House Party

December 27th, 2009

The Haunted House Party (Rainbow Morning Music Picture Books)

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 3–This newly illustrated edition of a title published in 1987 describes a Halloween party in lyrical rhyme. Uninvited animal guests get out of hand a la The Cat in the Hat, entertaining and terrifying the young host and his friends. As the events get increasingly wild and destructive, the boy asserts himself and the creatures restore the house to normal before his parents’ return. The poetry goes on a bit too long, but the cartoonstyle pictures are full of scary ghosts, drunken skeletons, goblins, witches, a flame-throwing devil, and creepy crawlies. The backgrounds are dark with the figures painted in brighter colors. Careful examination reveals humorous details–eyes peeping under a stair,

Open House

November 19th, 2009

Open House

Review

Oprah Book Club® Selection, August 2000: The narrator of Elizabeth Berg’s Open House calls divorce “a series of internal earthquakes . . . one after the other. ” She ought to know. Samantha is abandoned by her husband in the opening pages of this three-handkerchief special, and the resultant tremors keep her off-balance for most of the novel. There are practical problems aplenty, of course, including a shortage of money and an 11-year-old son to raise. But Sam’s sense of emotional bereavement is far worse, despite the fact that her husband had been giving her the conjugal cold shoulder for years: I miss David so much, yes I do, I miss the presence of another person in my bed at night, even if he doesn’t touch me; th
