    I liked the part where the tattoo guy and the tattoos came alive, where the bug tattoo was crawling on him. I also liked the incubator brain guy and the flying chicken that dropped eggs on people. I think this book was fiction because none of it could really happen. I liked the scary hand. It said hey kid, what are you doing, you should be in bed, its almost midnight-the sign says Scarum Fair-I would get away before the hand grabs you-uh-oh too late! I loved this poem book and give it ****

    I like it because it acted as if the night was Halloween and all the poems were about scary stuff. I loved the sketches. I didn't really get what some of the people were at the fair. My favorite part was the crocodile slide. At first you say that looks really cool but at the end you have to pay an arm and a leg.
