PreS-Gr 2–Children will be drawn into this interactive book by rhyming text paired with Halloween jokes. Each spread includes a brief rhyme describing the way for readers to interact with the unique picture, such as “This haunted house is where they all call home. Look around the creepy rooms where they like to roam!” This variety, combined with the lift-the-flap pictures on each page, will hold even younger childrens’ attentions to the very end. Although the book is full of entertainment, there are educational benefits as well. The search-and-find page, for example, is beneficial in promoting focus and attention while reading; meanwhile, tracing the maze page could be considered a fun exercise in gross motor skills. Readers will also enjoy the rich and vibrant illustrations: Each page displays an adorable take on spooky characters like Frankenstein, mummies, and vampires.
VERDICT Games on every page make this a fun independent book for younger readers, while the jokes and succinct text create an entertaining read-aloud for teachers or parents.
