Young readers and pre-readers will discover the details of this non-threatening Halloween world alongside their Pumpkin Baby avatar, as every spread features a flap revealing a fun, unexpected character or Halloween surprise.

The durable, interactive flaps make this an ideal multisensory experience for hours of fun at schools, libraries, homeschool or stay-at-home activities.
