This book was a joy。 I listened to the audio book version with the authors: Ray Bradbury & Jerry Robbins。 The voice of Jerry Robbins with a full cast making this books feel like a movie。The first song （Halloween tree） was a wonder to hear。 Also enjoyed the use of history and how the view of fear to celebrating the dead。 My favorite history moments were The Greeks and Witches （with the explanation “what can they do” “nothing” … “… wise”）。In my head the movie looked like: Frankenweenie。 Only with This book was a joy。 I listened to the audio book version with the authors: Ray Bradbury & Jerry Robbins。 The voice of Jerry Robbins with a full cast making this books feel like a movie。The first song （Halloween tree） was a wonder to hear。 Also enjoyed the use of history and how the view of fear to celebrating the dead。 My favorite history moments were The Greeks and Witches （with the explanation “what can they do” “nothing” … “… wise”）。In my head the movie looked like: Frankenweenie。 Only with use of color to show the different time periods。 But the character style are an exact copy。🎧 audio book 。。。more

3。5Bradbury toma como base la idea de Dickens de los fantasmas de la Navidad para llevar a un grupo de chicos por la historia de las celebraciones sobre los muertos alrededor del mundo。 Ideal para leer en la preadolescencia。 Intuyo， además， que mucho de Gaiman sale de acá。

a linguagem é bonita， febril， como se o livro tivesse sido escrito numa sentada só， mas assim que o esquema da história se revela， perde um pouco a graça

This was a short book but took a couple weeks to get through。 The language was older and meandering。 Some very interesting and controversial religious views considering the author。 A review of many different cultures and how they celebrate Halloween。 Told from a child’s perspective with lots of magical travel and extraordinary escapades。 Will the boys save their friend Pipkin？ Got this from Google but it’s a perfect description。 “The Halloween Tree argues that the holiday is more than simply an This was a short book but took a couple weeks to get through。 The language was older and meandering。 Some very interesting and controversial religious views considering the author。 A review of many different cultures and how they celebrate Halloween。 Told from a child’s perspective with lots of magical travel and extraordinary escapades。 Will the boys save their friend Pipkin？ Got this from Google but it’s a perfect description。 “The Halloween Tree argues that the holiday is more than simply an excuse for candy， it is a celebration of death。 And such a macabre celebration helps us think about what it means to be alive。” 。。。more

Väga paslik lugemine volbriööl。 Tegemist küll Halloweeniga， kuid need päevad poolenisti samas pajas。Raamat räägib sõpradest ning õpetab neile Halloweeni tagamaid viies nad rännakule läbi aja ja maa， et päästa oma sõber surmast ning ühtlasi rääkida， kuidas Halloween oma alge sai ja mida see päev algselt tähendas。Tervelt üks ⭐️ lisandus illustratsioonidele。 See loost saaks suurepärase joonisfilmi！ Eh， vaatasin， 1993 ongi tehtud。 Nüüd tuleb see vaid üles otsida。。

Es un recorrido por la historia， de la mano de 8 chicos y mucha fantasía。 No fue para mí。

A pesar de parecer （o ser quizás） un libro para jóvenes， el señor Mortajosario me ha conquistado。 La prosa de Ray Bradbury me ha atrapado y puesto los pelos de punta。 Maravilloso

I read this It was really great the only reason I marked it down was because my skill as a reader isn't high enough for this yet。 Ray likes to paint the picture with words which is great but for my small brain was too much so ill definitely reread this later and probably rate it higher when I'm more skilled with more detailed writings。 I read this It was really great the only reason I marked it down was because my skill as a reader isn't high enough for this yet。 Ray likes to paint the picture with words which is great but for my small brain was too much so ill definitely reread this later and probably rate it higher when I'm more skilled with more detailed writings。 。。。more

Feels like something written for children and could sometimes feel like a lesson。 I imagine it as a script for a children’s Halloween special more than anything else

Es un gran libro， no se por donde empezar， la historia es fascinante， llegué a este libro por la película de Hannah Barbera y no me arrepiento， en la película de eliminan varios personajes pero entiendo la razón， no me quejo。

I know this is supposed to be a fun "remember the reason for the season" type of kids book， but also。。。 I really hated it。 Mostly because it drastically misrepresents the "history" it is sharing。 These flashbacks into "Halloween history" are really just a writer's twisted fantasy based on what someone heard or thought they heard about a particular time period--something that， as someone who has studied both anthropology and archaeology， I take a profound issue with。 It's just a kids' story。 I ge I know this is supposed to be a fun "remember the reason for the season" type of kids book， but also。。。 I really hated it。 Mostly because it drastically misrepresents the "history" it is sharing。 These flashbacks into "Halloween history" are really just a writer's twisted fantasy based on what someone heard or thought they heard about a particular time period--something that， as someone who has studied both anthropology and archaeology， I take a profound issue with。 It's just a kids' story。 I get that， but it purports to be so much more。Yeah， I hated it。 。。。more

Tatlı bir cadılar bayramı öyküsü。 Fikri， farklı kültür ve zamanları ziyaret edişlerini beğensem de öykü ile iletişim kuramadım ve yavan bir deneyim oldu bu yüzden。 Konu itibarıyla çok Amerikan olduğu için çeviride ister istemez anlam kaybı oluyor sanırım。 Benim için en akılda kalıcı yeri Bay Kefenyığını'nın büyücüleri tanımladığı kısımdı。 "Büyücüler düşünebilirler， çocuklar。" Tatlı bir cadılar bayramı öyküsü。 Fikri， farklı kültür ve zamanları ziyaret edişlerini beğensem de öykü ile iletişim kuramadım ve yavan bir deneyim oldu bu yüzden。 Konu itibarıyla çok Amerikan olduğu için çeviride ister istemez anlam kaybı oluyor sanırım。 Benim için en akılda kalıcı yeri Bay Kefenyığını'nın büyücüleri tanımladığı kısımdı。 "Büyücüler düşünebilirler， çocuklar。" 。。。more

I listened to this book， and the version was a radio production with sound effects， orchestra etc。 It was fun to listen to， but I'm not sure how it would compare with reading the actual book。 The book is really written for young readers， but is still fun for older readers who like to get a taste of nostalgia for the time when Halloween was the most exciting time of the year。 The book explores how other cultures dealt with death through celebrations or yearly events similar to Halloween。 It also I listened to this book， and the version was a radio production with sound effects， orchestra etc。 It was fun to listen to， but I'm not sure how it would compare with reading the actual book。 The book is really written for young readers， but is still fun for older readers who like to get a taste of nostalgia for the time when Halloween was the most exciting time of the year。 The book explores how other cultures dealt with death through celebrations or yearly events similar to Halloween。 It also explores what friends are willing to sacrifice to save one of their friends。 This is kind of like a Christmas Carol for Halloween except rather than visiting events of families past the boys are visiting historical events of other cultures。 It's fun to listen to and very short， so not much time spent either way。 。。。more

An entertaining age-appropriate introduction to variety of cultures' celebration or acknowledgement of the liminal spaces between life and death。 A good jumping off point to explain cultural differences， local practices， family memories。 An entertaining age-appropriate introduction to variety of cultures' celebration or acknowledgement of the liminal spaces between life and death。 A good jumping off point to explain cultural differences， local practices， family memories。 。。。more

I loved this because Ray Bradbury captures young boys curiosity so well。 They care but often times you give them a puzzle or a mystery and they’re all in it。 The learning of Halloween and the different cultures that celebrate it was very interesting and it all tied in to Pipkin because he was sick and he needed help。 It was a journey of the boys trying to find pipkin and realizing the meaning of this journey: it’s a gorgeous story
