Children's Literature

In three stories that center around Halloween, Dragon finds himself in several amusing and scary predicaments. When he goes to find a very large Halloween pumpkin, he is too late and has to settle for six small ones. He builds a monster jack-o'-lantern that even frightens him. At the Halloween party, his unplanned costume change scares his friends, but when they learn it is Dragon inside the pumpkin head, almost everyone is amused. In the final story, Dragon is very hungry and while walking through the woods, he hears a rumbling sound. Thanks to squirrel, Dragon learns that it is his own tummy making all the sounds. He races home and prepares a giant Halloween feast just for himself. 1995 (orig.

School Library Journal

K-Gr 2-This fifth book about Dragon is just right for beginning readers who want to be scared, but not too scared. In three episodes, Dragon cleverly turns six small, unimposing pumpkins into a tall, frightening jack-o-lantern; accidentally wears the most fearsome costume at a Halloween party; and is frightened by his own moaning and groaning hungry stomach as he walks home through a dark forest. Pilkey's bright, bold watercolors complement and visually enhance the text. Young readers will laugh out loud as they enjoy this scary Halloween from a safe vantage point. A nice, reassuring companion to Van Leeuwen's Oliver & Amanda's Halloween (Dial, 1992).-Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID
