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!

Review Quotes

Toddler-PreS-A gentle introduction to Halloween fun, this festive board book invites toddlers to spot treats, costumes, and critters in a costumed parade. Each spread pairs a playful rhyme, like "Grab your hat, vampire bat," with a prompt to search for themed ¬objects, such as pumpkins, candies, or a mischievous black cat hiding in every scene. The predictable "Can you find...?" structure supports early engagement and helps young children build comprehension and pattern recognition. Digital illustrations feature bold outlines, expressive animals, and highly saturated colors that capture a toddler's attention. Characters include children in costume with a range of skin tones and hair textures, offering a subtle nod to inclusivity. One child is shown using crutches. Layered, die-cut pages create a satisfying tactile experience as little hands turn through each scene. VERDICT Bright, interactive, and developmentally on target, this seasonal board book is an engaging choice for Halloween displays and lapsits alike.-Rose Garrett
