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.

About the Book:

Learn with your toddler from A to Z all about different kinds of dogs and their funny doggy behaviors.

A fun collection of illustrations for young readers featuring a variety of dog breeds―ranging from large to tiny―that toddlers might see in their neighborhoods or on TV. These cute-as-can-be dogs―athletic dogs playing in the park, wet dogs shaking off water, sleepy dogs taking naps, hungry dogs having a snack, and more antics―will make toddlers laugh and smile. Another delightful BabyLit alphabet board book featuring Greg Paprocki’s classically retro mid-century art style that’s proven to be a hit with both young children and adults.

My Review:

D is for Dogs is a fun alphabet book perfect for toddlers and younger children. The illustrations are amazing. I love the retro vibe.

The pages are wonderfully designed. The top of each page features a large letter. The bottom of each page features a corresponding action pertaining to dogs.

A perfect gift for dog lovers with toddlers and young children in their lives.
