A delightful book if you are beginning with your English learning. While it is a children’s book, adults will appreciate the heart-warming story of Jack, the self-proclaimed ‘pumpkin king’ who delights himself in scaring people, living for the dark tricks of Halloween. However, eventually Jack gets tired of all things frightful and gloomy, crying:
“I don’t like graveyards and I need something new. There must be more to life than just yelling: ‘Boo!’”.
One day, by accident, he wanders into the joyful place of the colourful Christmas Town where he discovers the wonder of sharing Christmas cheer. He instantly knows what he has to do. He must bring Christmas to Halloween!
You might have followed Jack’s hilarious attempts to make Halloween a cheerful place in the Disney movie version but I’m sure you will appreciate the rhymes and word play in this book. Try it out, you will not regret it!
