Review

Perfectly timed for Halloween week, Grimelda and the Spooktacular Pet Show were a hit at storytime. Ross conjured up detailed illustrations filling the pages with a variety of items to ponder. Most unique is the handlebar design broomstick which seems perfectly normal in this cluttered and messy community. Grimelda herself is a beguiling character, she is among the strong young females so frequently seen in books lately. The rhyming text moves the storyline and offers humor.

Not as essential purchase but should be added as a companion to Grimelda the Very Messy Witch.

Overall Book Score: good
