I just don’t get what is so great about SpongeBob, but my son just thinks he is great.
This book is about how SpongeBob does not want to be scared this Halloween, but wants to be the person doing the scaring. He wants to be a ghost, and at first he looks more like a mattress than a ghost. He gets Patrick to shave his head into a round shape, and the fun continues from there.
My son (who is 3) wants me to read this book over and over. He loves the last page where SpongeBob brain is popping out and it scares everyone. I think it is the gross factor that my boy loves.
It is a Ready to Read Level 2 book.

This is my first reading of the Babymouse series. It is a graphic (cartoon) novel. I read the whole thing while waiting for my daughter to finish up something.
Good Halloween story. And also could be used to discuss peer pressure and being true to yourself.
The book is about how babymouse wants to be something scary for Halloween but the cat tells her that girls are not suppose to be scary they are suppose to be pretty. Babymouse caves and dresses pretty, she also invites people she does not like to her party. She goes trick-or-treating with the cat and her friends and not her true friend. The cat decides to toilet paper yards, steal candy, and egg houses. Babymouse is told to join in, and she does.
In the end Babymouse realizes that the cat and her friends are not who she really wants to hang out with.
As a parent it was disappointing that Babymouse joined in on the egging, toilet-papering, and stealing candy. It was not until she went home that she got up the courage to say no to the mean cat.
A fun book. My daughter had a hard time understanding that babymouse was daydreaming in parts. It was not that clear. She liked the book though. This is the second Babymouse book she has brought home from school.
