It had the makings of a great story—Halloween is “canceled” in fear of the herdman’s hijinks—but it just never got interesting. Alas.

Gotta love the Herdmans. This is no best Christmas but a respectable follow up.

Not the best in the series but puts a smile on my face . . .

Another humorous visit with the Herdman's. Pretty repetitive, but still enjoyable. My 4 year old liked it too.

The least exciting of the three stories in this collection.

How do you protect the town at Hallowe'en with the Herdmans on the loose? Cancel the trick-or-treating and keep the candy away from a potential blackmail or bartering situation. When the Woodrow Wilson PTA decide to host a Hallowe'en night event, everyone cowers in fear, until they learn the Herdmans won't attend. With the event moving forward, a few strange events occur, though no one has seen that group of six unruly children, so it must have been an outside source...right?

Robinson has now passed on, but she left children a trio of highly humerous stories that allow for hours of laughter and entertainment.

Entertaining, but not quite as good as The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Light and easy.

Meh...The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is one of my all time favorite books, but the 2 follow ups are mediocre at best.
