Wearing the perfect fairy queen costume, with her friend Michael by her side, Ann Estelle is ready for a Halloween night on the town. And what a night it is—full of ghosts and mummies and witches and wizards, and lots of candy, of course.
But Halloween can also be a little bit scary, as Ann Estelle discovers when she tries trick-or-treating at the spookiest house in town. It's awfully dark up there . . . and the pathway is awfully long. Will Ann Estelle be brave enough to ring the bell?
Little trick-or-treaters will enjoy this Halloween outing that sparkles with Mary Engelbreit's signature wit and charm.
PreS-Gr 2
This title celebrates all that is a little bit spooky on this fun holiday. Ann Estelle is dressed as a fairy queen and her friend Michael is a pirate. She does not want to admit that she is a little frightened about trick-or-treating even with her dad along. However, she eventually realizes that Michael, too, is scared, and that they can be brave together. Engelbreit has a comforting way of writing-the sentences are descriptive, but with many familiar words, and they are not too long for beginning readers. The illustrations are bright and cheery and capture the excitement that most children feel at the prospect of trick-or-treating. The bottom border on each page is filled with all of the familiar symbols of Halloween that children love.-Susan E. Murray, Glendale Public Library, AZ

Queen of Halloween (Ann Estelle Series)
This book is about a little girl, Ann Estelle, and her friend who are going trick-or-treating on Halloween. She is dressed as a queen, and her friend, Michael, was dressed as a pirate. Michael thinks they are old enough to go out on their own, but Ann Estelle's father goes with them anyway. At the end of the night, her father stands at the gate and lets the children go up to one house on their own. The house is a little spooky, and they are afraid to ring the bell. When they finally ring it a nice old lady opens the door and gives them all the candy she has left. The two children happily go home.
I would have students do a story pyramid after reading this book. It would be a fairly simple version. (One word identifying the main character, 2 words describing the main character, 3 words describing the setting, 4 words describing the problem, 6 words describing an event, 7 words describing the solution) Students could have the option of adding other events as long as they add a word to each level.
I would also use this book to demonstrate the Think Aloud Strategy. I would read the book aloud to the class, but as I read, I would ask questions or make comments about the story out loud. This helps demonstrate the thought process that should be happening while students read.
