Montes, M., & Morales, Y.
(2016). Los Gatos Black on Halloween. New York: Square Fish/Henry
Holt and Company.
Summary: On Halloween, the
creatures of the night choose to come together and throw their yearly bash.
Black cats with glowing, yellow eyes creep along streets and alleyways, while
witches ride their broomsticks through the air. The dead rise from their graves
and the ghosts drag their chains to make their way towards the haunted mansion.
Every monster is having a pleasurable time dancing to the music played on
harpsichords, until the scariest individuals of all knock on the door. Human
children! This is a problem for
the partygoers, as they all are scared of children, so they run and hide until
they go away.
Review: This is the perfect story to read during the Halloween season, although, it might be a little scary for young children. This story introduces Spanish words to students while telling a fun and spooky tale about a monster ball on Halloween. It uses both English and Spanish words within a catchy rhyming poem. The illustrations are amazing, but a bit creepy too
