I read “The best Halloween ever” and a lesson to be learned is don’t make rash stupid decisions. The author of “The best Halloween ever” is Barbara Robinson. This is a story about the Herdmas and all the trouble they cause. There are 6 of them; Ralph, Imogene, Leroy, Claude, Ollie and Gladys plus a crazy cat. In this one in specific the Herdmans make them take away Halloween.

An example in the book of how it shows that you should’t make rash decisions is when they took away Halloween. All the kids got mad and Halloween wasn’t fun at all. You shouldn’t ever took away Halloween or lots of people will be mad.
Another example of when they made a rash decision when they shouldn’t have is when Alice tried to make the best costume and made the electricity go out. She thinks that she always has to have the best, most flashy costumes ever. It made all the power go out and everyone got scared.

My final example of when people make a rash decision is when the kids decided to listen to go into the revolving door at the bank with the Herdmans. That story goes something like this, Ralph had said let’s see how many kids can fit into the door. They got 8, but they had to call the fire department to get them out. The weirdest thing is that the Herdmans liked to do stuff with fish so the guard was guarding the fish tank and didn’t even think about the revolving door.
