Full-color illustrations.

Fun Read for Kids

My husband looked at me like I had 10 heads after reading it to our 3 year old the first time. He had never heard it growing up and thought it was so strange but she loves it and now it's their book they read many times over each night. Fun Fall season book that teaches pattern recognition.

SO many art/sensory ideas for this story.

I’m not afraid of this review… This is such a cute story, but could be a tad bit scary for the younger crowd. A great read to do art work with.

Toddler approved

My 3 year old always asks to read this book! It’s a good pace, good length, with nice pictures too. I think it’s great for toddlers but could probably work for much older kids as well.

This is a great, repetitive story for young children. They love the sounds and being able to predict what happens next.

Fun Halloween Story

Love how this fun, interactive story includes subtle lessons of bravery with added humor along the way. My 6 year old grandson loved it and thought it was hilarious.

Cute story for Halloween time. Not too scary and encourages kids to be brave. And my girls love it...we have read it at least ten times in the last two days!

It was a fun story for my 4-year-old grandson. A little bit spooky but with a fun resolution at the end.

3 year old loves this book

My 3 year old loves this story. It is just the right amount of spooky. The book is about a woman who runs into haunted clothing in the woods and each piece of clothes makes a sound, like tapping. My child loves to make the sounds with the book. It is a lot of fun for us to read it together.
