DESCRIPTION:
Hamilton King award-winning illustrator, James Bennett's outlandish illustrations perfectly depict these unique observations, reminding us why Jerry Seinfeld is still the funniest man alive.. So the first time you hear the concept of Halloween when you're a kid, your brain can't even understand it. Seinfeld's tale resonates with vivid experiences of a night every kid loves.Both kids and adults will eat up Jerry's distinct and unwritten rules of Halloween. "What is this? What did you say? Someone's giving out candy? Who's giving out candy? EVERYONE WE KNOW is giving out candy? I gotta be a part of this!"In his first picture book, comedian and bestselling author Jerry Seinfeld captures on the page his hilarious views on Halloween, from Superman costumes that look like pajamas to the agony of getting bad trick-or-treat candy
James Bennett's exaggerated, hilarious, expressive illustrations of the young Jerry (yes, it looks exactly like him) suit the over-the-top story to a T. Of course, the smart-alecky Seinfeld puts his own stamp on things in a voice that is so distinctly his: "Come on lady, let's go! Halloween, doorbells, candy, let's pick it up in there." He wants "name candy" only, make no mistake, and even trick-or-treats with an organizational cabinet on wheels, with drawers labeled "Crunchy Things," "Sour Things," "Rejects," etc. (Ages 6 to adult) --Karin Snelson. Unusual child's-eye perspectives on parents (and friends up the sidewalk who won't wait up) add energy to a book that is already sugar-charged. If the only "really clear thought"
Great for older kids and ANY Seinfeld fanatic. This book is so typical Seinfeld that even as you read each page you can hear his whiny tone and exageration in each line. The accompanying CD is perfect to play along while you read, and the illustrations are on the money when it comes to capturing the essence of childhood "Halloween frustration. Seinfeld's instant classic riff on Halloweens past An hysterical Seinfeldian take on all things Halloween-ish, including masks made with cheap staples and the thinnest rubber bands in the world, disappointing costumes, life's perceived ups and downs and, of course, candy Candy CANDY!!! I'd say this is more a book for parents than kids, more for S. "It was great." according to Wampeer. I was at a bookstore with my sister. We came across this book and sat down and read it together. I am 18 and she is 16. We sat down and I could not stop laughing. We both had tears streaming down our faces. It wasn't just funny. I thought it was cleverly written and very honest. We ended up buyin
