Review: How many of us now tottering on middle age grew up with the adventures of Caspar the Friendly Ghost and Wendy the Good Little Witch comic books! Jill Thompson in her growing SCARY GODMOTHER oeuvre gives millennial youngsters (and their significant elders) an entirely enchanting bit of whimsy. Ms. Thompson is an artist who has cleaned and broken her brushes as a comic book illustrator. Of course, this shows in her droll illustrations for her own books. If, however, you look long and caringly enough, you'll find wisps of Rackham, Hogarth, Charles Addams, Edward Gorey, and even BETTY BOOP in the entrancing brushstrokes illumined here. The story is hilariously witty, adequately outright funny for the youngsters, but more than sufficiently jovial for the eldsters. And parents! NO, it is not TOO SCARY for your wee ones! This particular volume even includes an explanation of those peculiar, SCARY THINGS under the bed. Way too fun to be merely a children's picture book.

Review: Jill Thompson is easily one of the most gifted artists I have ever seen. Her work is truly beautiful, and every illustration leaps off the page. This book, as well as the others in the Scary Godmother series, are perfect for Halloween lovers of any age. I'm 28 and I just love sharing these stories with my young nieces and nephews. Thank you, Jill, for giving us such a wonderful world filled with loveable characters!
