Review Quotes
... a perfect adaptation.
... the kid-friendly text does a great job of taking a sad, and occasionally scary poem and making it accessible and understandable by little readers.
The illustrations by Carme Lemniscates are cute but retain much of the gothic atmosphere so beloved in the original. They are all done in shades of blue and purple which adds to the gothic style and gives the book a distinctive yet kid-friendly look.
