Review

"The catchy refrain never falters, and the rhythmic repeated sounds made by each of the woman's pursuers are sure to appeal to children. Lloyd's brilliantly-colored, detailed folk art-style illustrations are a perfect complement to the text. A great purchase for Halloween or any time of the year, and a must for both school and public libraries."

Annotation

In this spooky story, a little old lady goes for a walk in the woods; all is well, but as night falls, she begins to have a series of scary encounters. First she meets up with two shoes, all by themselves, just clomping in the middle of the road. Although the little old lady is not afraid, she is very aware of the fact that these shoes are now following her. Next she meets a pair of pants, all by themselves, just wiggling in the middle of the road. The little old lady still isn't scared, but now the shoes and the pants are following her. By the time she makes it home, the little old lady is being followed by the shoes, the pants, a shirt, a pair of gloves, a top hat, and a pumpkin head. Is she scared now? Color illustrations accompany the text.
