If you like Halloween and limericks, you don't want to miss this book. It was filled with 20 grim limericks that were very clever and only slightly horrific (if you know what I mean). The illustrations are what first drew my eye to this book. They were wonderful and detailed. There are should and goblins, switched and ghosts, and so many more spooky things and characters to explore. It would be great for an English class with the rhyming of the limericks. Let the students explore and create their own spooky limerick. ( )

Between the pages of this tome
Are ghouls, and ghosts, and a haunted home.
I'm sure you can't wait,
'Cuz the pictures are great,
But the rhymes might just make you foam. ( )

The illustrations are greatly disturbing which is what you expect from Gris Grimly. The grim limericks are okay. Many are really cute. I just wish the book had a better flow.

This was excellent!

Do you have a reluctant reader who loves Halloween and all things scary?!? Then this book is for you! Well, them, technically, but you know what I mean.

Susan Pearson has written 20 grim limericks (hense, the title) to delight younger ghouls and goblins. The rhymes are a bit stretched at times, but fun nonetheless, and will keep children rhyming and giggling for hours. Perhaps they will even encourage children to test out their own writing chops?!

Now, the illustrations by Gris Grimly are a site to behold on there own. Reminiscent of Richard Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas, Grimly's characters come to life (so to speak) with their delishously delightful ghoulishness and humorously off kilter expressions. Check out Grimericks online
or in your local bookstore today! ( )
