THE HALLOWE’EN FOLK LEGEND OF WHITE HORSE HILL by Philip Gegan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
While reading this, I heard Sammy Terry’s voice, bringing me back to my childhood.
If you don’t know who Sammy Terry is, then you should go look up what we watched my whole childhood. I enjoyed this book and getting into the Halloween spirit early this year.
The play on words and how they carried throughout the book made me smile. Most poetry books are different poems, and this was a rhyming story, bringing authentic culture and other religions and beliefs into the mix.
I enjoyed learning about different traditions throughout my reading and chuckled at times while feeling I was reading a philosophical novel. It was a weird feeling but a delightfully odd feeling. I don’t know how to describe it, but I was left wanting to read it again.
It would be best if you were reading this to your kids around a campfire, during girl scout meetings or boy scout meetings, and having fun with smores. I highly recommend this to a school setting when wanting to learn about the culture and traditions around the holiday.
It’s not always dressing up, but putting that into play makes it so much fun—Bravo to the author for teaching the lesson with such pizazz.
