Peek under the flaps — if you dare! — and discover some fun and gently scary signs that Halloween is here.

Where is the bat, and what is the spider doing? What could be in the cauldron, or rattling in the closet — or outside the door? The moon is out, and somewhere a child has turned into a skeleton or a witch’s cat. For young children awaiting Halloween, here is the perfect board book, full of bright colors, bold illustrations, and ever-so-slightly spooky surprises waiting beneath sturdy flaps. Trick or treat!
