This book is based on the stand up comedy of Jerry Seinfeld. It is all about what he perceived Halloween to be as a kid. It is full of FUNNY things, like the masks that do not fit correctly, or how he felt like he was wearing Superman's pjs instead of a costume. I love the pictures in this book because they make me laugh. I don't know that children today truly understand this book because they just don't have the same experiences that Jerry had. I think costumes today, at least the mask, must be made differently. It also talks about all the candy that he got and how as he got older he had a system. I related to the circus peanut reference and think it is hysterical. Anyway I love this book and read it every year on Halloween to my children and to the students in my class.
I purchased this book at one of those Halloween stores many years ago for only $10!
