School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 3-Cushman continues his series about the clever anteater detective, this time on Halloween night. The simple chapter book has just a few sentences per page. Each episode continues the story, but can also stand on its own. Dressed as Sherlock Holmes, Aunt Eater heads to a costume party and encounters several mysterious occurrences throughout the evening. She handily solves all but one of them and readers are given a visual clue to its resolution on the last page. The cartoon illustrations are funny and capture the wacky side of Halloween nicely, with costumes ranging from ghosts to turnips.-Dina Sherman, Brooklyn Children's Museum, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

Dressed as a real detective in a Sherlock Holmes-style cap and overcoat, Aunt Eater spends her Halloween investigating four spooky cases. The first three mysteries turn out to be simple misunderstandings, but the final one stumps even Aunt Eater. Like earlier books in the series, this fourth Aunt Eater mystery features easy wording, large type, and lively illustrations. From HORN BOOK Spring 1999, (c) Copyright 2010.

Aunt Eater's Mystery Halloween
Booklist

Gr. 1^-2. Aunt Eater, the anteater outfitted in Sherlock Holmes garb, returns in this addition to the I Can Read series. This time, Aunt Eater is involved in four short mysteries with Halloween as the backdrop. Except for the last one, the vignettes are on the bland side. In the first, a child thinks there is a monster in his house, but it is only his father, who has eaten too much candy. In the second, a mother and child have trouble with their costumes, and in the third, spooky music is coming from the piano--it turns out that a snake has sneaked inside. The last story features Aunt Eater dancing with a mysterious scarecrow. The watercolor-and-ink illustrations are lively and find the fun in each chapter. Consider this because there are few Halloween books for beginning readers. --Ilene Cooper
