"Lyall’s text begs to be read aloud in dramatically spooky tones, while Gregory’s illustrations, rendered in a sepia-toned palette with pops of red, are deliciously creepy; the fang-gnashing, jam-drooling, unibrowed sandwich is a particular delight." —Kirkus Reviews
"[A] fun option for spooky but silly story times. . . . A perfectly silly book to add to all Halloween or spooky book collections." —School Library Journal

CASEY LYALL lives in Southwestern Ontario where she also works at her local library (and waits for management to discover they're actually paying her to have fun). When she's not writing, Casey loves to bake, doodle and learn extremely groan-worthy jokes to tell her friends. Casey is the author of the humorous middle-grade mystery series Howard Wallace, P.I. and books A Spoonful of Frogs and Gnome Is Where the Heart Is.
NICI GREGORY started illustrating whilst still in primary school, drawing in the margins of her exercise books. After studying graphic design in Hamburg, Germany, she went on to work as an in-house illustrator for a marketing firm in Sheffield. When she realized her work in the margins (mostly animals in fancy clothes) continued to be her favorite and best work, she decided to leave the world of marketing for a full-time career in creating books for children. She has never looked back. Nici lives in Sheffield, England.
