"A lightly spooky collection of verse. . . . the variety of poetic styles, including everything from limericks to a classic ABCB style, is admirable. . . . Sports a distinctly classic Halloween feel, both old-fashioned and timeless." —Kirkus Reviews

"VanSickle and Lounsbury give Mother Goose a holiday spin in this classic-feeling verse collection. . . . The result is winningly timeless." —Publishers Weekly

"Welcoming readers to 'October County,' where 'it’s always Halloween,' VanSickle serves up short verses that incline to the mild side of spooky, from a holiday counting rhyme. . . . to a lullaby that soothes[.]" —Booklist

"This delightfully spooky poetry anthology is all about Halloween. . . . The warm, autumnal color palette and the round, cheerful faces of the characters make this book a fun and nonscary way to celebrate ­Halloween." —School Library Journal
