The Haunted House Party
(eBook)
Join Barry Louis Polisar's host of ghosts, ghouls and goblins as the house shakes, the candlesticks fly, the TV pirouettes and a few ghosts take off their sheets…it's the liveliest Halloween party ever-until things get out of hand in this spell-binding but good-natured tale told in verse. On Halloween night, a child's party is visited by real ghosts and goblins. The problem is-everyone is in a mask and costume and no one knows who the real creatures are-until some of the real ghosts and goblins begin to show off for each other. The host and his friends learn, in a highly original way, how to deal with negative, destructive behavior and to take responsibility for their situation. Barry Louis Polisar is an author, songwriter, poet, and story-teller for children who also writes songs and books for adults. He performs his songs on two different Grammy Award-winning albums and sings his song "All I Want is You" in the opening credits of the Academy Award winning movie Juno. Barry's songs are featured in television shows, feature films, and dozens of TV ads throughout the world. His books and poems have been translated into other languages and his songs have been recorded and performed by singers and musicians internationally. He has written songs for Sesame Street and The Weekly Reader and starred in a television show for children that won two Emmy awards. A five time Parents' Choice Award winner, Barry is a pioneer in the world of music for children. He has recorded and shared his songs, poems, stories, and books with audiences throughout the world and has performed at The White House, The Smithsonian, and The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. He gives concerts and author visits in schools and performing art centers from Washington DC to Fairbanks, Alaska and was given a Special Library Recognition Award for his "ability to communicate with and excite children to read." His work has been featured on National Public Radio and written about in The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, Newsweek, and People Magazine. "Good Halloween fun and a nice addition to poetry collections. The pictures are full of scary ghosts and creepycrawlies and careful examination reveals humorous details." - School Library Journal "Polisar is a clever subversive who sweeps us up in the fun…anybody who's that incorrigible is going to becherished by a lot of kids." - The Green Bay Press Gazette, Green Bay, Wisconsin "An extraordinary Halloween book. Very clever. Children will be delghted." - The Kokomo Tribune, Kokomo,Indiana "A bewitchingly funny story." - The La Crosse Tribune, La Crosse, Wisconsin
