Books with author Cathy MacLennan

Cathy MacLennan’s latest title is a wonderfully spine-tingling (but never scary) journey through the darkest hours of Halloween night. Spooky Spooky Spooky! features a cast of fantastically creepy characters, from velvety bats and horribly howling cats to slithering slugs and slippery snails. A weird and wonderful tale with rhythmic, rhyming text; fun, colorful illustrations; and a real “treat” of an ending!

What a great read-aloud, sing-aloud, shout-aloud book this is, with its fun-to-imitate animal sounds and rhythmic rhyme. Bright yellow chicks, golden bees, and striped kitty-cats play in the warm sunshine, clucking and buzzing and skitty-scatting. Then they rest, snoozy-woozy. But what is this? The pitter-patter of raindrops. Now the crash, bang, wallop of a storm—how will they get dry? Soon the sun and sweet breezes come out again. Wonderfully textured art (you can practically feel the cats’ fur and the chicks’ softness), as well as a sleepytime ending, will make this a favorite to read again and again.
