Marjorie Dennis Murray is the author of several acclaimed books for children. She grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa. where, at the age of 3, she was placed in an orphanage and remained there until she was 12. Eventually she attended the University of Pittsburgh where she graduated with two degrees and high honors. After working at several unfulfilling jobs she discovered that she was an authentic "kid at heart", and her true calling was to write books for children. She now works (happily) as an Assistant Teacher in a preschool. She is very good at mixing paints, tying shoes, and helping children feel comfortable at school. Marjorie Dennis Murray is the author of the very well-reviewed and popular picture book, Halloween Night; as well as Hippo Goes Bananas!, a Children's Choice Book of the Year; Don't Wake Up the Bear!, an International Reading Assoc. Choice; and one of Disney Online's Best Books of 2002, Little Wolf and the Moon.

Reading like The Night Before Christmas, this fun library read is sure to please! From things that go bump in the night, or creepy crawly treats, this book was well illistrated and a blast to read aloud!

My 3 year old son loves this book, but I think its lame. I find the best children book rhyme and this one doesn't. There's also some weird unnecessary pauses when each animal announces its cold. I don't get it. To each their own, I just don't like it much.

The boychild was not quite ready for Halloween to be over, so he grabbed this one from the library.Set to "Twas the Night Before Christmas". Very cute. The illustrations were great.
