Books like Halloween

Seems like a lot of celebrities are writing children's books these days. I guess the name recognition helps out when it comes to picking up the book. But, as many children's stories tell us, it's what's on the inside that matters most.Which is why I'm a bit frustrated with Jerry Seinfeld's book Halloween. As a fan of Seinfeld (both this classic series and his stand-up humor) this reflection on growing up and what Halloween meant to him is fun. Except that all this book turns out to be is several of his stand-up routines illustrated. And while Shortcake and I enjoyed it the first time we read it, I'm not sure this is one that we'll be adding to the rotation of book we read together any time soon. I suppose if I had the CD with Seinfeld delivering...I mean, reading the book it might be a bit more fun. I certainly tried to do my best Seinfeld impression while reading it, but it met with little enthusiasm from Shortcake.
