Moonlight the Halloween Cat by Cynthia Rylant Illustrated by Melissa Sweet

This is a good book to get you in the Halloween spirit. It is a stereotypical Halloween story, talking about witches, scarecrows, black cats, and trick or treaters. I really liked the illustrations. They took up the whole page, and the colors were very rich. The colors are mostly dark colors except for the pumpkins. There is one page I especially liked of the cat sitting with the bright yellow full moon in the back ground. It's such a simple but powerful illustration. I brought this book to my child study and it was the first book she wanted to look at. She liked this book a lot, but I think it had something to do with the holiday being so close. I love this author, Cynthia Rylant always has great stories with exquisite illustrations.
