If you've followed this blog for a while, you know I'm a sucker for kid lit. I enjoy both children's fiction as well as classroom books. All the better when they include a little Halloween.
"Billy's Neighbors" dates from 1957 and attempts to steer children away from their natural devilish ways. Rather than vandalizing their neighbor's house and property this year, their teacher Miss Dale persuades her students to make posters with positive statements like "Think of Others on Halloween" and "Do Good on Halloween". Booorrrring. Wait until Billy finds where his parents hid the cherry bombs and eggs.
