I Gave This Book 4 Roars! 🦁🦁🦁🦁
Why 4 Roars? This is a simple book for younger readers that they can easily understand. It was cute, but I have seen so many counting backwards books for young readers that this one became lost in a sea of plenty.
Critical Analysis: The illustrations are classic depictions of easily recognizable Halloween images. I like the illustrations but the book lacked anything interesting or unique.
