Summary
Summary
Halloween is about treats, costumes, and bobbing for apples. People love to dress up, be scared in a fun way, and get treats. But, Halloween actually started as a combination of customs from different cultures. It was a way to thank the Sun God, a Roman holiday honoring saints, and a church celebration to remember the souls of people who died, all rolled into one day. Author Fay Robinson also tells readers how things like witches, black cats, and ghosts became an important part of Halloween.

School Library Journal Review
Gr 3-5-Robinson opens with a lengthy history of Halloween and its ghostly beginnings. The next section explains the different symbols and traditions. The final chapter relates information about our modern celebrations, safety issues for children, and costume and decorating ideas. Full-color, archival photos appear on almost every page. Directions for making mini-ghosts are included but not illustrated, which may frustrate children. An additional purchase where more material on the history of the holiday is needed.-Wendy S.
