Review: Teachers' Night Before Halloween

Teachers' Night Before Halloween by Steven L. Layne
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

If you see this book, don't pick it up. Just don't. It's not a book for the Halloween season. Really, I'm completely at a loss for whom it was written. For children? Surely not. Why would children need to read how much teachers hate Halloween? Besides, it's poorly written, rhymes and rhythm are bumpy, illustrations are not exciting, and the book as a whole is only marginally funny. Besides, school-aged children are a bit too old for a picture book like this. For teachers? Well, teachers are definitely too old for a picture book. Overall, it's a parody book that is more insulting, than funny. People tell those kind of stories as a way to vent frustration, but it doesn't mean those stories are suitable to publish.
