About the Book:

Follow along for trick-or-treating through the neighborhood on Halloween night!

Grab your hat, vampire bat
Fill your tummy, mummy

Dress it up, little pup
Howl at the moon, big baboon

Let’s raise a scare, grizzly bear

Now we’ve made a masquerade,
A spooky Halloween parade

No matter how you scare, I don’t care,
You’re my little boo and I love you!

Every page turn reveals a new layer to Kathrin Fehrl’s adorable illustrations of kids dressed up as ghosts, pumpkins, cats, witches, mummies, and fairies, with a fun seek-and-find for each scene. Perfect for Halloween lovers of all ages, this sweet story is a celebration of one of the best times of the year.

My Review:

It's Time for Halloween is a beautifully illustrated children's book. The story is simple and cute. The illustrations are vibrant and adorable. Everything about this book will fascinate youngsters.

Fitting for a quick bedtime story, this board book can also be read anytime - even outside of Halloween. Each layered page of the book includes questions, encouraging interaction from those of appropriate age. This would make a perfect gift for your Halloween-loving children and grandchildren.
