This year, Crankenstein's favorite day of all—Halloween—has gone rotten! Creepy-cool costumes, super-scary jack-o'-lanterns, and loads of candy have been RUINED by costume disasters, pumpkin-carving nightmares, and a terribly untimely toothache! MEHHRRRR!!! Can Halloween be saved, or will today turn into the crankiest Halloween in history?

Samantha Berger's beloved "crankster" character confronts all the wicked tricks and treats of Halloween in this bucket full of laughs, illustrated by bestselling, award-winning artist Dan Santat.

Praise for A Crankenstein Valentine:
“A humorous story…. My 5-year-old has me reading this book to her again and again.”—New York TimesPraise for Crankenstein:
“Expect many re-read requests from Crankensteins who may (or may not) recognize themselves.”—Publishers Weekly“Will the creature ever turn from “MEHHRRRR!” to merry? Youngsters will roar along with Crankenstein through this silly and sympathetic story of grumpy-grouchies.”—School Library Journal“Whoa. Be prepared for the intense frustrations, the moody outbursts and the green scowls of Crankenstein…. Each setting reveals sly comic elements that both kids and their grown-ups will appreciate. Readers will laugh out loud…. Get ready to read this aloud a lot.”—Kirkus Reviews “Caldecott winner Dan Santat’s illustrations are hilarious, expressive, slightly gross, and absolutely delightful.”—Charlotte Parent“Crankenstein’s crankiness remains relatable [and] even endearing, and the busy full-page digital paintings let it all hang out in a panoply of Halloween motifs.”—Horn Book
