Gashlycrumb Tinies

A Favorite of Mine for Halloween

Each year at this time...I pull out my copy of Gashlycrumb Tinies.
If you don't know about this book...it's an alphabet book.

Here are a few pages.
It is just charming and I give it as a Halloween present often.




I found this video on YouTube that someone compiled of the whole book 
which takes it to the next level. 
I must say...
it takes away a little of the quiet charm but I laughed out loud several times.
And it's perfect for Halloween.


Who is your favorite Gashlycrumb Tiny?
Mine is Neville by far.

  1. Hi Nita - Looks like somebody's a huge fan of Halloween. I noticed that your last few posts are devoted to them. I luv your new cute Halloween header too! Although I'm not such a big fan of Halloween, I am having a Halloween High Tea party. Wish you could come :-)

  3. Looks like such a fun book! I don't do a lot of Halloween since we live in the country and get zero Trick or Treaters! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment! I hope you will visit often as I have so much more in store!
    Happy Painting!

  5. I had never heard of this book. The video was funny in a gruesome kind of way. But it did make me laugh. Thanks for visiting my blog & leaving me a comment.

  7. I have never heard of this, but my friend and I have a dark sense of humor and I just LOVED this. She's very Gothic, so I'm aiming to get her a copy for Christmas because she'll treasure it year-round.
