Black Cats At Halloween by Laughing Elephant
Published: September 1st 2014
This addition to our popular series of shaped books for children is a happy story about the activities of one of Halloween s most durable icons the black cat. It shows how fully they enter into the spirit of the holiday. We see black cats with their fellow Halloween icons jack-o-lanterns, witches of all varieties, and owls.
They join children in their trick or treat rounds, and do their best to be scary. Some wear costumes, and in the spirit of the holiday, frolic and dance. Black kittens join the celebration with their feline elders. We have illustrated this charming book with a variety of vintage Halloween images, including rare vintage postcards.”
If you’re like me, and a little bit bonkers for Halloween—you need this book. At a mere 16 pages, every page packs a significant punch. This is a gorgeous collection of vintage Halloween images that can be appreciated by readers of all ages.
I wish I had lived in a different era. Seeing these gorgeous old images makes me appreciate the past ‘golden ages.’ The images and captions are so charming they will surely warm your heart.
This is a fun book to read aloud on chilly October nights. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
