Los Gatos Black on Halloween by Marisa Montes is part of our bilingual collection of books. On Halloween night the vampires, ghosts and all the Halloween characters are ready to attend the yearly Ball in the huge Haunted Hall up the hill. They arise from the ground, fly on their brooms, and stagger across the cemetery just to dance to their favorite Halloween tunes. As soon as the fun begins the knock on the puerta (door) has even the scariest looking characters stare at the door in fright. You will never guess what los catos black (black cats), las brujas (witches), las momias (mummies), and even the esqueletos are most frightened of...Come to the library and find out?
Kindergarten students had the opportunity to meet Splat the Cat again in Rob Scotton's book Scaredy Cat, Splat. This time Splat the Cat just wants to be the scariest cat at cat school on Halloween day, but he is just too much of a scaredy-cat. He's afraid of a little spider and when his teacher tells the class a ghost story he jumps into the air and all the jack o' lanterns go flying. When the lights go back on there is a scary looking, furry creature with a pumpkin head making the scariest sound. Whooooo could it be? The kindergarteners enjoyed this little Halloween story with a cheerful ending.
