Five of the characters from the Sesame Street television show - Zoe, Telly, Elmo, Grover and Herry - decide to dress up as witches for Halloween, asking each person they encounter while trick-or-treating to identify who's who. They manage to fool everyone but Oscar the Grouch, who has a trick of his own up his sleeve...

As someone whose family didn't have a television in the home when I was a young child, I grew up without watching either Sesame Street or The Muppets, although I have seen snippets of both. This isn't a book, therefore, I would have been likely to pick up, were I not interested in witchy picture-books of all kinds. Be that as it may, it was a fun little Halloween adventure, and I would imagine that young children will gravitate towards it brightly colored illustrations and sense of fun. ( )

This book is still a little complicated for my 2-year-old, but he loves the pictures, so I just sort of make-up the story as we go along and that works. ( )
