About this title

Review

"A top-notch hair-raiser that will do for any old night of the year, but will really spike a Halloween story hour." --"Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books""A delightfully alarming story poem about a dark and windy night when a boy and his sister are sent on an errand and must pass a certain tree that moans and reaches out its arms, freezing their hearts with fear. Strong, exciting illustrations make it all real. The poem would be especially good read aloud." --"The New Yorker""Deep, dark pictures of a windy, cloudy, spooky night provide the appropriate atmosphere for this tantalizingly told story-poem about a brother and sister who are sent out at night to fetch a pail of milk." --"Booklist"
