Black and Bittern Was Night

I am disappointed in Kids Can Press.  I usually like their stuff, but I can’t figure out the  purpose of this book.  It’s a Halloween book, with cute illustrations that will attract children, but story is nothing but gobblety-gook.  I’m a fan of the classic nonsense poem, The Jabberwocky, and Dr. Seuss of course created wonderful books full of made-up words, but this just doesn’t hold together.  It doesn’t even have good rhythm to read aloud smoothly, let alone create any meaning.  Ugh!
