“Hazy Dell Press and author Kyle Sullivan bring yet another delightfully spooky and fun picture book to life in Hazel and the Spooky Season. The rhythmic rhymes carry the reader through a night with Hazel, lover of all things spooky, as she learns that she can be herself and share her love of spooky things with new friends. Ronnie Pumpkinseed, a pumpkin-headed specter, introduces Hazel to the concept of Halloween, and by putting on a Halloween spectacular in the graveyard, brings other kids who share Hazel's interests to celebrate and bond. Beautiful art by Jess Mason enhances the story's spooky fun. Chilling and thrilling, this is a perfect addition to any
children's collection.”

“Fantastically hilarious.”
—School Library Journal
“A fresh twist on a beloved fable…It gets wilder and weirder as the story goes on. With its tongue-twisting-tall-tale-ness, it’s a MUST read-aloud book.”
—Illustoria Magazine
“Sullivan’s clever concept effectively flips the script on the classic tale. The memorable twist is up to par with the one in Mo Willems’ That Is Not a Good Idea…Meg Hunt’s illustrations are filled with whimsical background details. The staging and facial expressions give the proceedings an animated-movie feel.”
