The Halloween Play

Felicia Bond. Laura Geringer Book, $6.99 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-06-054443-0

A handful of Halloween titles provides spooky holiday fun in new board-book editions (for additional Halloween listings, see Children's Forecasts, Aug. 4). In Felicia Bond's The Halloween Play, Roger has a small but important role when his class puts on a performance before a packed auditorium. The sweet text and quiet illustrations, previously published as The Halloween Performance, capture the anticipation and joy of this little mouse.
